[comp.text] troff macro question

carbo@ssc-vax.UUCP (02/13/87)

I use a set of troff macros for documentation that takes care of
most of my needs.  However, there is one thing that the macros
do not have that I would like to implement.  What I like is
the capability to set a string to a specific value only until
the next page break, whether that is encountered by a .bp or by
tripping the footer.  I want to use this string in my footers,
and after the next page starts reset this string to either its
previous value or null.  My troff fluence is not quite up to
this point.

Anyone got any suggestions?
