   I don't think there is an easy answer within the builtin DSSSL
procedures.  I just skimmed through the "additional string" procedures
in the library at www.mulberrytech.com, and while it doesn't look like
there is a procedure that will do *exactly* what you want, there are a
bunch that do similar enough operations (most of them by Norm Walsh)
that you could probably adapt with relative ease.
