Or, grotty is wrong to assume that hard-coded sequences will be understood. :-) See mentions of `SGR' in grotty(1) for documentation, e.g. of the environment variable to disable these codes, and groff's `-P' option to pass options to the grotty post-processor. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
