thank you!
If one *uses* heirlooms -mm macros and *really* needs that feature it could be
added. Otherwise I would agree with Tadziu that initially setting W should be
sufficient. The -ms macros had register

Yes, but that's for the GNU version of mm. I don't think
the original AT&T macros had a corresponding request.
One could theoretically delve into the mm code to see how
the various parts are initialized from the registers set on
the comman

Then use the -rW command line option. This is the

(instead of using troff internals such as .ll), and it's
clearly documented (so it's n

In the heirloom version of mm the display is processed in
environment 1, which still has the original line length.
