Hello, Ted, and thank you for your reply. According to what you
have said, it is impossible to have the same vertical space before
and after a display unless the PD register be set to zero. It
doesn't seem quite right to me. Why the asymmetry?
Secondly, I couldn't find where the DD register is documented. It's
present neither in the MS man page nor in the groff online manual...
