[lug] ghostview quirks

I don't know if this is a quirk of gv (ghostview), or of the postscript
documents I'm trying to read. I suspect it is part of the documents.
What happens is that I can page down (forward), but there is no ability
to backup. If I am on page 5, and have a table or text that is split
between page 5 and 6, and want to page forward to 6, then back to 5, I
must completely reload the document to see page 5 again...it is a
one-way street. Does anyone happen to know if this is really a problem
with the document, or a problem with gv? If it is part of the document,
I'm tempted to look up where it misses the page back ability, and
manually edit this in...I can't afford to print 300 pages, and sure
don't want to reload the document each time I desire to look back a page
or 2.
