(embarrassingly) simple showpage question

I want to create a two/many-page document, e.g., so that gv shows
it as two/many pages and allows you to navigate among them.
Couldn't find a simple explanation in PLRM or any-color-book.ps,
and the little snippet at the bottom of this post just doesnt't work,
no matter how I try messing with it. With the first showpage
commented, as shown, both pages display overlaid as one page.
Uncommented, only the first page shows, and the second is
inaccessible.
   I tried using ImageMagick convert to combine two small one
page docs,
     convert doc1.ps doc2.ps twopagedoc.ps
and that works fine. But vi-ing the twopagedoc, I can't for the
life of me figure out what it's doing that I'm not, or what
it's doing right that I'm doing wrong, or whatever. I tried
various things like gsave/grestore, just for kicks, but nothing
seems to have any effect. What's the trick? Thanks,
