    PROBLEMS: Fix content and style nits.
    
    * Refer to "AT&T troff", not "ditroff".
    * Lightly recast the paper size item.
    * Add cross reference to groff(1) in paper size item since the man page
      has an entire subsection on paper size issues.
    * Say "application defaults files", not "application resource files".
    * Space around headings more consistently.
    * Update editor aid hint comment.

 A convenient way to set paper dimensions is to use the -dpaper option
 of groff, together with proper -P options for the postprocessor
