Sorry for being off-topic: Ralph, do you ever get mails from me sent
to you privately? I tried it a few times, and I never got a response,
so I now have the feeling that I'm somehow filtered out by your email

I've attached a patch to www.tmac and a test file (for the testsuite) that
implements numbered and definition lists.
One thing I'm not happy with yet is how list items get wrapped in paragraph

No, \b moves the cursor one cell to the left, regardless of the
width of the previous character
You mean the "erase" character, right ?

I don't know how it is called correctly. Unicode says that `\b' (as
used in the C language) is U+0008 BACKSPACE.
