Thanks for that.  In the end I found the incantation required was

    .de newsize
    .sp 1
    .vs \\$1
    .ps \\$1
    .sp -1
    ..
    .de oldsize
    .sp 1
    .ps
    .vs
    .sp -1
    ..
    .newsize -4
    "93 H3" \
    "Pittosporum Irene P" \
    "evgr, h4'   s2', frgnt" \
    "flrs l8 spring" \
    "#1 d2'" \
    at Plant_1.c
    .oldsize

in order to get everything balanced out so later items weren't
displaced.

Thanks,


Ralph.
