It's not uncommon to have troff documents divided up into multiple
files, all of which are specified on the groff command line:

       groff -mm chap*.mm app*.mm

grog needs to take multiple arguments since chap1.mm may contain PIC
code, while chap2.mm may have EQN code, and app3.mm may have TBL
code, and grog will need to look at all of them to figure out what the
proper options to groff should be, so you'd invoke grog like this:

       grog *.mm
