That explains why I could not find this for gs.  But you gave me a good 
idea.

I can mark all the odd numbered files by adding an a in front of the 
names, with a five-line script.  First file ends in 0.pbm

mv *.pbm a*.pbm
mv *1.pbm b*1.pbm
mv *3.pbm b*3.pbm 
.....
Or do I need something like 'for i in $1;  do $i > ai; done' ?
(Add an a to any file starting in 1, or 3, 5 7 9).

print a*.pbm

Turn over paper, reverse order of sheets depending on printer.

print b*.pbm

How can I print in reverse order without manually rearranging the 
paper first?
