What you're trying to do goes beyond the keyboard file's native
capabilities. (Also, your TYF command syntax is off; one too many
commas, and an errant forward slash. And it would fail, in any case,
if the filename already had an extension: when you tack on ".ps"
you'll get error 585 -- "Too many letters in file name").

It can be done, of course -- with a little help from XPL and U2's
frames PrsKbdArg and XMACRO (a/k/a XM). The following should do what
you want:

'%--_XYENCode_start--
20=JM2,.,P,r,s,K,b,d,A,R,g,Q2x,m,_,[,S,X,0,1,CO[,V,A,$,F,P,],]
,[,I,F,[,I,S,0,1,],~=,",.,",],[,S,X,0,1,CO[,V,A,@,0,1,.,1,],],
[,E,I,],COB,X,t,y,f,/,n,v,_,CO[,P,V,0,1,],.,p,s,Q,2,NO'^'^
'%--_XYENCode___end--

(To decode the above, read my post of a few minutes ago entitled
"Encode/Decode (Important!)".

Let me know how it works.
