Does this help?  AIX 3.2.5's troff.

    $ cat in
    .de xx
    \\$1
    .br
    ..
    .xx abc
    .xx "abc"
    .xx "a""b"
    .xx "a""""b"
    .xx "$"""""
    .xx y"x$""""x"y

    $ nroff <in | cat -S
    abc
    abc
    a"b
    a""b
    $""
    y"x$""""x"y

All looks fine to me.  I get the same output from groff.


Ralph.
