I was trying to print out the NCSA Telnet documentation (in Word 4.0 format)
to a Postscript file.  The files are linked together so that printing
the Telnet.tp file with the "next file" option checked would print the whole
document set to the (destination).  I selected "Postscript File" as my
destination and clicked "Print".  Needless to say, the Telnet.tp file
printed to the Postscript file, but the other documents printed to the
LaserWriter.  So I decided to try hacking the LaserWriter Extension
to make "Postscript File" the default.  I hit a dead end.  I thought,
mistakenly, that the DLOG resource would contain a field which said "This
is the default".  Anybody know if there is a way to do this?  Is this problem
fixed in Word 5.0?  Can I use the LaserWriter Font Utility to print the
NCSA docs (in order) to 1 postscript file?
