Re: [Groff] Jumping to the next column

Hi Louis,

> In groff_ms, 2 column mode, how does one jump to the next column?

Saying a large amount of vertical space is needed with .ne works, though
there may be an official better way.  Also, note how the top of the
second column ends up starting higher.

    $ (seq 20; echo .PP; echo .2C; seq 42;
