[Groff] Apparent weirdness with -ms's PO and LL

[James J. Ramsey]

Putting

.nr PO 1.25i
.nr LL 6i

at the top of the file seems to do nothing, yet if I
put

.nr PO 1.25i
.nr LL 6i
.po \n(POu
.ll \n(LLu

I get what I want, a page offset of 1.25 inches and a
6-inch long line.

I would think that at the very top of the file,
setting the number registers would be sufficient. Go
figure.

What am I missing here?
