  Where do you found such an information? The documentation say explicitely
the opposite (section 23, page 41, first sentence).

  The same question was already sent at the end of July: PSTricks is not the
good tool for that.

  P.S. D.G.> Rather look at the `atxy', `eso-pic' or `textpos' packages for this

  I only cited this package to be more complete, but I do not think that this
is a good idea to use it... It was frozen in a bad state, as several versions
exist, patched by different people, and is not easily accessible. But with the
Web search tools, you can found it in several places. For instance, a copy is
inside:
