The first dimension given is the horizontal size of the page, and the second is the vertical size. The dimensions supported are the same as for TeX; namely, in (inches), cm (centimeters), mm (millimeters), pt (points), sp (scaled points), bp (big points, the same as the default PostScript unit), pc (picas), dd (didot points), and cc (ciceros). For a landscape document, the papersize comment would be given as \special{papersize=3D11in,8.5in} It appears to be dvips-only, judging from the hyperref .def files. Taco
