>Description:
	The handbook script for filtering postscript through gs is
	broken. It includes a second, unneeded invocation of gs that was
	probably meant to be commented out without explanation, and is
	missing a continuation mark on one command.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Read the handbook chapter on advanced printing, looking for
	"gs ".
>Fix:
	The attached patch removes the extra invocation, and adds in
	the  line continuation needed to make the script work properly.
