Hello, and thank you for your reply. 

Ralph was correct. I may not have been clear in my original post, but
I was speaking of page headers and footers. I think you were referring to 
headings. 

I am very new to groff.  I want to use groff to set test papers
and I need to put more information in the headers than I am able to put into 
one line. I have used the .PH macro from mm, but as far as I can tell, it 
is limited to one line. I like the left/center/right format and would like
to 
keep that if possible.

Thanks again.
