By studying examples provided by Denis Girou, I have 
found the solution to my question of Sept. 21 about 
getting a string length into (!ps) code.  The following 
sequence allows the use of \LabelWidth in the (!ps) code 
($#5$ contains the string):

\newbox\LabelBox
\setbox\LabelBox=\hbox{$#5$}
\pst at getlength{0.035146\wd\LabelBox}{\LabelWidth}
