Abject apologies for wasting your time with the above request. We do have
Postscript manuals - secreted in the filing cabinet of an engineer on leave!

Reading them left me feeling pretty thickheaded but it seems that "moveto"
causes the string within the brackets to be placed on the page at a location
defined by the x,y coordinates which precede the moveto command. "ashow" causes
the string to be printed with character spacing defined by the x,y coordinates
which follow the moveto command but precede the string.

Thanks,
Margaret Gerard
