Funny how things clump together like this: I was asking
about this possibility a couple of weeks ago. What I'd
like to see is a way to attach a clump of man pages to
the end of a chapter without having to make two separate
runs & assembling the output by hand.

One possible workaround would be to grep for every definition
in a macro file & constructing a file consisting of .rm xy
for every macro in the package. You would end up doing some-
thing like this:

        [mm input]
        .mso mm.rm
        .mso an.tmac
        [man input]
        .mso an.rm
        .mso m.tmac
        [more mm input]

The hard part would be to preserve global settings like
page layouts & so forth across a mass deletion like that.
