Replying to myself a bit:
I checked the man pages for psbook and psnup but it would seem that psbook needs 
multiples of 4 [pages] to work - I have six pages on a 3 Panel Roll Fold Rack 
Brochure.

psnup could put the 3 pages per a4 paper that I need but how would I get the pages 
to be in a logical order - ie. front cover = page 1; inside would be pages 2,3 and 
4; with the reverse side of the folded flap being page 5 and the back (when roll 
folded) being page 6?

The 'How To Create a Brochure' howto 
[http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Creating_a_brochure]
refers to what I created as a '3 Panel Roll Fold Rack Brochure'.

I know that Scribus is geared to producing pdf's to give to a professional 
printing house but perhaps there is need of a 'Home Printing' howto??

Blessings,

Nigel
