Yikes!

The definitions above are for ATT DWB 3.4/5/6. That happens when you answer 
from your desk reference rather than from actually reading the source code 
(hint, hint).

In GNU ms, the definitions are slightly different and take advantage of 
groff's syntax:

        .ds CH "-\\n[PN]-  \" Shouldn't the different spacing
                           \" this be considered a bug?
        .ds CF "\\*[DY]
