I want to make two pages. On the first page is one sentence. The
second page has the same sentence and another. I tried several things,
including the following:
    %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
    %%BoundingBox: 0 0 600 400

    /usedFont     /Bookman findfont def
    /authorFont   10 def

    usedFont
    authorFont scalefont
    setfont

    newpath

    50 350 moveto
    (Line to show on page one and two) show

    save

    showpage

    restore

    50 300 moveto
    (Line to show only on page two) show

    save

    showpage

But the text:
    Line to show on page one and two
is only shown on the first page. Is what I want not possible, or am I
doing something wrong?
