DO_APPLE_SCRIPT questions... [message #12295]

Another question as I try to move some of my Unix IDL code
to my Powerbook for you Mac using IDL'ers:

I'd like IDL to print a Postscript file to a printer, given
the filename of the PS file (as a string variable in the
IDL code). What would be the easiest way to accomplish
this? Currently I use a SPAWN command for Unix, but
this won't work under the Mac. Is there some variant
to use, or can someone provide some insight into how
one could cook up an Applescript solution to this that
could be called from *within* the IDL program (I
don't want to use Applescript to run the IDL program
externally)?

Thanks a lot!
