Tadziu,

Thanks but a string defined by DS (where from?) is not accepted as a parameter
to a macro.

The only situation I can think of where comments can't have
preceding whitespace is ".ds", and this can be worked around
by something like

.de DS
.ds \\$1 \\$2
..
Demo:
.ds xx foo bar        \" space belongs to string
.DS yy "foo bar"      \" not here
-\*(xx-
-\*(yy-
