Ugh, brane wasn't working this morning - now I know what you're trying
to do.
Try prepending to your postscript document:
/moveto {
dup 700 gt { 50 add } if moveto
} bind def
That'll add 50 to the y coordinate of any moveto statement called with
a y > 700.
Just note that some things are *far* easier to do in postscript. ;)
