Hm, I'm inclined to say that gs is not the right program for this.  On
the command line, you can use <ENTER> to see the next page (this can
surely also be implemented in Lisp), but I know of no way of scrolling
up, let alone zooming in.

Why not use a viewer like gv, which uses gs, and let the gs that comes
first in point to gs-afpl if you prefer that?
