Thanks!
Now, unless I'm misreading the intent, the documented \n[.U] is ascribed
behavior opposite to what actually happens. According to the manual, "If
gtroff is called with the -U command line option, the number register .U is set
to 1, otherwise to zero."
On groff 1.19.3 (on Solaris), I used an example file k.1 with the following two
lines:
.sy pwd
.tm \\n[.U] is \n[.U]
I then got the following with and without -U respectively:
% groff -Uz k.1
/home/ds26
\n[.U] is 0
% groff -z k.1
k.1:1: .sy request not allowed in safer mode
\n[.U] is 1
Either the doc or the progam should change, no?

BTW, this has been introduced in version 1.19.1.
