i was thinking about how it could be done:

a) open the 2nd file for specific terminals when the 1st one is opened (with
'set output ...')
but what if the user specifies the terminal after 'set output'? then the
problem is the same as before.

b) use getcwd, get_current_dir_name, or getwd to determine the full path in
'EPSLATEX_reopen_output()'
in 'pslatex.trm', this would be the best solution.
but are these functions existing on all platforms?
i don't think so (but i'm not sure).
who knows?
