PSPrint is not implemented in Mathematica 3.0, contrary to what the Mathematica book says. However, it is certainly possible to reimplement something like it using top level Mathematica code. Here is a URL for an FAQ that tells you how to do it. http://www.wolfram.com/support/Systems/Unix/PSPrint.html |> Also how to combine two plots when I am running in a text mode? I believe the method for doing this is the same as when you're dealing with the notebook front end. Any graphics generating command returns an object of some sort after evaluation that you can use for future reference. Here is a simple example that demonstrates the behavior: (* Here is the first plot *) In[1]:= gr1 = Plot[Sin[x], {x,0,2Pi}] Out[1]= -Graphics- (* Here is the second plot *) In[2]:= gr2 = Plot[Cos[x], {x,0,2Pi}] Out[2]= -Graphics- (* This gives you a composite graph *) In[3]:= Show[gr1,gr2] Out[3]= -Graphics- This is also discussed in further detail in Sectin 1.9.4 of _The Mathematica Book_ (Third Edition). -- P.J.
