Hi, for me, it works as described in the info file.
Minimal working example: create a file "myfile.ro" which contains just one line: .rd Say $ groff myfile.ro > myfile.ps<CR> As soon as you hit <CR> the terminal will wait for input. Write, e.g.: This is a line of text. Hit <CR> twice, as groff needs a blank line to terminate input. Inspect the resulting file myfile.ps, et voilà, it has just one line: "This is a line of text." I didn't try whether .rd is disabled by any macro package, in theory, this is possible, though I do not see a reason why this should be necessary. groff is famous for not converting your digital estate into a nanny state.

groff.texi mentions the request .rd that's supposed to read user input mid-run, but I can't seem to get it work at all. No prompt, just quite ignoration. --d
