The text 'ReWind (Section 10.4.2).' appears at the bottom of page 31 when I
view the aforementioned file. I have gs-aladdin version 6.50-5 and gv versi=
on
3.5.8-26. What versions do you have?

The postscript code looks perfectly normal to me. The code

	0 29.8 M(ReWind \(Section 10.4.2\).)S

means

1. move to co=F6rdinates x=3D0, y=3D29.8 (0 29.8 M, M being defines as "mov=
eto");
2. show "ReWind (Section 10.4.2)." (quoted text in parentheses, S is defined
   as "show").
