In IDL, I wondered if it was possible to store the output filename
used in the DEVICE command as a variable, so that you can print it,
etc.? e.g.:
if keyword_set(ps) then begin
displaycolors=!D.N_colors
set_plot,'ps'
device,filename='output.ps',/color,/cmyk,bits_per_pixel=8
print,"Output written to ",filename
endif

Well sometimes it is much more important to know how you have done this
damn ps file.
So we wrote that info into each ps file
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%PLOTINIT: Tue Jan 6 13:46:20 2009
%%PLOTINIT: /private/20090106/test.pro
%%PLOTINIT: 100 Read, Write, New, No Close, Reserved my_plot.ps
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 841
%%Title: Graphics produced by IDL
