The text 'ReWind (Section 10.4.2).' appears at the bottom of page 31 when I
view the aforementioned file. I have gs-aladdin version 6.50-5 and gv version
3.5.8-26. What versions do you have?

The postscript code looks perfectly normal to me. The code

	0 29.8 M(ReWind \(Section 10.4.2\).)S

means

1. move to coördinates x=0, y=29.8 (0 29.8 M, M being defines as "moveto");
2. show "ReWind (Section 10.4.2)." (quoted text in parentheses, S is defined
   as "show").
