Hi Dorai,

I have no other version at hand so I cannot check. Maybe you try 1.22.3,
it should be available in many software distributions.

  Thanks, Oliver. I'm using

GNU groff version 1.23.0.rc1.69-8e09f

Tried your exact same file, and it just whizzes to completion without prompting 
for my input. Also on groff 1.22.4. Checked if I was using an alias for groff 
that could screw things up: No.  All my GROFF* environment variables look 
unexceptional too. I can't think of a config scenario that would affect the 
viability of .rd .

  Hi again,

I tested the one-liner against all installed macro packages (man, mdoc,
me, mm, mom, ms), the request .rd works as expected.

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.
