I'm not sure if you can access the file unit directly, but you can use
the OUTPUT keyword to the DEVICE command to write a scalar string
directly to the open postscript file without any processing. This
should allow you to include your own postscript commands within the
file.

Can't you open the file first yourself?

Device, filename='My_file.ps'
