You are not copying a postscript graphic (that might happen under MacOS X),
you are copying the screen representation of a postscript graphic. The
clipboard uses the screen resolution, i.e. 72 dpi on the Mac. You have to
save the graphic as eps for example and then import it into your other
application.
