If all you need is to get the PS output on a file, you don't need all
this trickery: when ps-print-* commands are invoked with a numeric
argument, they automatically prompt for a file name and leave the PS
stuff on that file.

I suspect that the value of PATH as known to Emacs does not include
the directory where you put cat2file.
