	I had two leading newlines before the #!/bin/sh line.  The `#!'
	has to be the 0th and 1st bytes...  I flubbed that as I
	mouse-buffer cut-and-pasted.

	After that was resolved, there was a bug in the gs line.
	After the gs line was closer to what it should have been,
	I  had my hp500 incorrectly named to the -sDEVICE=.
	((Evidently, it's got to be "djet500".))

	There are a lot of wonderful people out there, and quite a 
	few are on this list.   I figured out the last bug 
	(-sDEVICE="djet500") myself.  Kent Stewart helped me 
	thru the first parts.

	(****)  :)
