I don't think you will find an answer to your question, at least
easily. Try finding a group with experience with PostScript. Object
grouping, as far as I can tell, is *not* a part of PostScript. It's a
weird thing that Illustrator tacks on. You see, PostScript is not
really a graphics format - it's more like a programming language. You
can define functions, set variables, etc. The 912 page reference can be
found at
http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/resources.html
I believe it won't help you. You'll probably just have to accept the
lack of grouping.
