For the wiki the script should be divided into three scripts for 
clarity. The first gets run once, the second multiple times and the 
third just once. 
-----------------------------------
psbook $1.ps $1b.ps
echo 'psnup'
psnup -2 -ptabloid -Pletter $1b.ps $1p.ps
echo 'psselect'
psselect -o   $1p.ps $1o.ps
psselect -e -r  $1p.ps $1e.ps
--------------------------------------
followed by
-----------------------------------
lpr $1o.ps
echo 'switch paper'
read x
lpr $1e.ps
-----------------------------------
and finally for cleanup
----------------------------------
rm $1p.ps $1e.ps $1o.ps $1b.ps
----------------------------------
Note that these scripts are Linux specific. They could be modified for
use on Windows etc. by substituting the actual file name prefix for the 
"$1"
string.
