I ran into an interesting "behavior" this morning...
Here is the offending text: .H3 "\f2.\^.\^.including 21 examples" Macro H3 is defined as: . de H3 . ce 1 . ft HB . ce 1 \\$1 . ft 1 .. I get an error because groff is interpreting the first dot in .\^.\^. as the first character in the argument to H3, apparently ignoring \f2. If I put a \& sequence in front of the first dot, it's happy and everything works. Is this what I should expect? Clarke
