In your psh script simply refer to $1, $2 etc. wherever you want to refer
to a command line argument.  Make sure the first line of the script is

#!/usr/NeWS/bin/psh

and make it executable.  Then if you execute a script "foo", for example,
as "foo bar", anywhere your PostScript references $1 it would be replaced
by "bar".
