Probably something about "My Word", which is a TextEdit-based editor
written by Gary Little.  It has a rather unique feature whereby an
arbitrary Postscript document can be sent to the printer for each
printed page.  The main intended function for this is to generate a
"watermark", i.e. a dim background message on the page.  The program is
supplied with Postscript files for printing several watermarks, e.g.
"Sample".

I'm not sure what the legal status of this program is.  It was
included on my System 6 Golden Master CD-ROM (as a third party
"goodie"), and I have a copy on my hard drive, but it is on an HFS
partition, and I'm in ProDOS-8 at the moment.  I've heard that it is
also on the Golden Orchard CD, which implies that it is Shareware if
not Freeware.
