Re: [Groff] Copy register value to another register?

[Clarke Echols]

.mk only allows moving backwards (up) to a marked location.

I want to be down in text (column 2) and move back up the page an
arbitrary distance to add a pull quote in the left column and then
return down to where I was.  .mk apparently can't do that.

Thanks,

Clarke
