Even though pic reports the error as being on line 4, it's actually on line 3. To see this, you can run: % cat > test.pic .PS A: circle "A" B: A left ; circle "B" at B .PE % src/preproc/pic/pic test.pic > test.groff src/preproc/pic/pic:test.pic:3: syntax error before `left' src/preproc/pic/pic:test.pic:3: giving up on this picture The semicolon token stops the line counter. > You might try a 'move _to_;' then the circle specification... > The semicolon separates operations and they can be chained > together.

Although I appreciate your response, I'm actually searching to understand how pic should parse the specific inputs I presented. I'm not really looking for alternatives. Thanks.
