Unfortunately I can only provide a me-Example (which should not differ  
from ms).


.\" Reference-defines for the whole document placed atop
.R1
database references.txt
accumulate
join-authors " und " ", " " und "
move-punctuation
.R2

.\" This is an entry which sets a reference entry based on
.\" the given words according to the entries in the database.
.\" It causes no break and will appear just like a footnote.
.[
Jager Television Receiver Valves
.]

.\" This is the end of the document. Print out the referred database  
entries
.[
$LIST$
.]

When changing the references.txt, I run indxbib references.txt to get  
a proper index. In fact, I don't remember if this is mandatory or  
optional.

Also you have to add -R to the groff commandline, so refer actually  
gets called as another preprocessor.

Hope that helps!
