Tom,

I updated the device drivers information when I made the tutorial at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/tutorial/devices.html

The postscript documentation in $NAWIPS/docs/users_guide is current for
the 5.4 version. You can use the online "phelp" command in any gempak
program to get information as well, eg: phelp device.

When the 5.5 version is released, the online help will be the basis for 
generating
new online docs.
