[comp.sys.next] WriteNow to PostScript?

amr@egr.duke.edu (Anthony M. Richardson) (02/16/91)

This seems like such a basic question that I am embarrassed to ask it,
but I have looked through the 2.0 documentation and asked the 
only other NeXT user I know, so hold the RTFM comments please.

How does one convert a WriteNow document to PostScript?
I don't have a PS printer at home, so I want to to save the
document in a file in PS format and print it out at work.

I know it's possible, because I copied the Mathematica Primer
by David Hieb which was available in both WriteNow and PS form.
Am I overlooking something obvious?

Thanks in advance,
Tony Richardson    amr@egr.duke.edu

p.s. Email responses preferred, unless you feel this is of general
interest.

Open the document in WriteNow, then select the "Print" menu cell.  When you get 
the dialog box, the button in the lower left corner is marked "Save".  Click on 
that to get a dialog box to save the PostScript output in.

When you press Print button in Writenow, A Printer panel will
show. Then press "Save" button to save to a *.ps file instead
of presss "Print" button to print it to printer.
