[net.text] How to make ".sz N" stay?

jih@usl.UUCP (Juha I. Heinanen) (04/04/85)

In -me there is a command .sz N for changing the font size.  After .ip,
.lp, .he, etc., the font size, however, returns to the standard size 10p.  
How should I change the .sz macro so that the selected point size stays
in effect through the rest of the document?  I have already tried
.nr pp N, but the result was chaotic.

       Thanks,  Juha Heinanen {ut-sally, akgua}!usl!jih

Here's our local macro ".*s", which changes font sizes for everything
(except equations) in the -me macros.

.\" *s change point size -- pag
.de *s
.nr pp \\$1
.nr tp \\$1
.if \n(sp=0 \
.	nr sp 10
.nr sp \\$1
.sz \\$1
