SYNOPSIS	roff____ [ +_number ] [ -s__ ] [ -h__ ] file\d1\u ...
.fi
.sp
.ti 0
DESCRIPTION	roff____
formats text according to control lines embedded
in the text in file918, ... .
Encountering a nonexistent file terminates printing.
The optional argument "+_number" causes printing
to begin at the first page
with that number.
The optional argument
"-s__" causes printing to stop before each page
including the first
to allow paper manipulation;
printing is resumed upon
receipt of an interrupt signal.
The optional argument
"-h" causes the output to contain
horizontal tabs for two or more spaces
that end on a tab stop.
An interrupt signal received during printing terminates all
printing.
Incoming interconsole messages are turned off during printing,
and the original message acceptance state is restored upon
termination.
