Oh help, please! I am trying to do something pretty simple -- just put revision bars in the right margin of a document. The .mc request seems to be just made for it. Sigh. It doesn't seem to work right. For short sections of text (i.e., less than one line of *output* text) it does just the right thing. It produces one margin character. However, if I turn on margin characters and don't turn them off until three or four *output* lines later, NROFF/TROFF often doesn't emit the last margin character. It stops one line too early. Am I doing something wrong? Does NROFF really hate me? Is it time to dig out the old Smith-Corona? mumble.... -- Art Z. TRW, Software Productivity Project
