????
Just do the plots

set_plot,'ps',file='2pages.ps'
plot,array1 ;;; First page
plot,array2 ;;; Second page

Or am I missing something?

Since plot, contour, and surface normally start a new page automatically, I
assume you are asking how to get a new page with the tv command. Try
"erase" to start a new page (sends "showpage" for Postscript device). Does
that do what you want?

Whoops, I mis-read this article! :-(

You get a new PostScript page every time you issue a graphics
command that would--on your display--erase the window (e.g. Plot,
Surface, Contour, etc.)

If you want multiple pages of image output (the TV command does
*not* ordinarily erase the page), then use the ERASE command to
force another PostScript page.
