Hi Don
You might want to try a simple TeX \vrule, combined with a colour from
the `colordvi' package.
I created the "\gapp" definition. You will notice that I have used
some negative "\hskip" commands.
Not sure if this was what you were looking for?
=====================
1 1 4 4 4 4 0 0
1 2 20 0
t
.\
\\input pstricks\
\\input colordvi\
\\\def\gap{\
\\\psframe[linestyle=none,fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=white](-17pt,-1pt)(100pt,21pt)}\
\\\def\gapp{\
\\\hskip -16pt\
\\\White{\vrule height20.6pt width104.2pt depth0.5pt} \hskip -90pt}\
c44 d e f g a b c /
L2
c44 d e f g a b c /
RD \gapp\ rb0 D"Hello"+8-2 Rz /
=====================
You get the attached result.
Regards
