RE: [Groff] Extending .tm to allow for file handles

[Ted Harding]

Apologies for the following! I experienced a brief power failure
while composing a reply to Tom's query below, and (since emails
which are being edited for sending are stored in my outbox) when I
re-booted the stub of the reply (below) was automatically sent.

I will start again shortly (I have to do some other things right now).

Ted.
