I tried doing this with a generic (non-TeX) PS file, and this is what I 
had to do.
    First of all, you need to tell the number of pages in your document. 
Your PS document should start off with

    %!PS-Adobe-2.0
    %%Pages: 4
    %%PageOrder: Ascend
    %%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
    %%EndComments

(for a 4-page document). Then you have to explicitly say where each page 
begins. Before you do any drawing on the first page, you have to put in

    %%Page: 1 1

then after the show command, you put in %%Page: 2 2, etc. After the last \
page, you need to include the command

    %%EOF

Now you can page through your postscript document. There should be a way 
to get dvips to put these statements in automatically, though.
