[Groff] refer how-to

I'm confused by refer. It seems to me it has two modes: accumulate and don't. 
In accumulate mode, it saves everything until it finds $LIST$ and then outputs 
all of the references there, in order. In don't accumulate mode, it outputs the 
references inline. Is this true?

If that's the case, how does one actually use refer to produce a paper with 
inline references and references at the end? Seems like you'd need to run refer 
twice on the same input with different formatting options and stitch both 
outputs together somehow. I see plenty of papers that look like they've been 
processed by groff/troff, but I don't see a tutorial on actually using refer, 
so I'm wondering how one gets around this restriction, or if I've totally 
misunderstood something.

Thanks,
