I don't think you will find an answer to your question, at least
easily.  Try finding a group with experience with PostScript.  Object
grouping, as far as I can tell, is *not* a part of PostScript.  It's a
weird thing that Illustrator tacks on.  You see, PostScript is not
really a graphics format - it's more like a programming language.  You
can define functions, set variables, etc.  The 912 page reference can be
found at

http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/resources.html

I believe it won't help you.  You'll probably just have to accept the
lack of grouping.
