Thanks Herbert for the quick reply!

I got the idea from the graphics companion (p.129)...

The problem is that I have a couple of these frameboxes and the
should all have the same height. That's the reason I used \rule
in the first place (maybe there's a more elegant way of doing
this?).
 

If I have another framebox here it has a different size,
i.e. (your code enriched by one box):

--8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8---
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pstcol,pstricks,pst-node}

\newcommand*{\XY}[3][white]{%
        \rnode{#2}{%
                \psframebox[framearc=.5,fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=#1]{%
                        \begin{tabular}{c}#3\end{tabular}%
                }%
        }%
}
\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(14,10)
        \rput(7,9){\XY{A2}{\textbf{fooooooooooo} \\
                \rnode{aa1}{barr} \\[2ex] \rnode{aa2}{foooooo}}%
        }
        \ncline[nodesepA=3pt]{->}{aa1}{aa2}%

%% Another box with different height:
        \rput(2,9){\XY{A3}{\textbf{fooooooooooo} \\
                barr}%
        }

\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
--8<------------------------schnapp------------------------->8---

I'll keep trying...

> 	\ncline[nodesepA=3pt]{->}{aa1}{aa2}%
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks!

Cheers
