Following the examples on p. 105 of Herbert's book (English edition--sorry!) I tried the following
%!TEX TS-program = latex
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-plot, pst-math}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\usepackage{pst-func}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(10,4)
\psline[linewidth=1.5pt, arrows=->](1,1)(1,4)
\psline[linestyle=dashed](2,1)(2,4)
\psline[linestyle=dashed](4,1)(4,4)
\psline[linewidth=1.5pt, arrows=->](5,4)(5,1)
\psBezier5{->}(1.01,4.0)(2.0,1.0)(3.0,1.0)(4.0,1.0)(4.99,4.0)
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
and my console reads
