RE: [Groff] Fw: problem with pic

[Y T]

To me it is perfectly natural that
       line from 1,1 then up 1
is different from
       line then up 1

In the first case, there is a very clear intuitive specification of a path
that starts at 1,1 and then goes up 1 -- it is not ambiguous.
In the second case, there is no clear specification of where
the path starts.  "line then up 1" has a natural interpretation of
"do something (line) and *then* up 1".
Hence, the current behavior for the second case
makes sense but the current behavior for the first case does
not make sense.
