Gruess Dich, Werner!

Thanks for the advice & the source files!  I gave it a first try, being
an eternal novice, and everything seems to work fine.

In some items I'd like to know more.

Is the .do hcode essential?  I'm inserting an "ä" and Groff realizes it.
Meanwhile I insert a \[Fo], Groff doesn't realize it and just prints two
"<"; but then I make a digraph in Vim {«} ( C-K < < ), and that is
recognized and printed.

Then, what means the ".do hla de"?

This is not totally out of range.  Where can I read more about
how to do it?  I don't understand your file, but it works well.  The
roff documentation I have is very terse.  I'd like to read something
more verbose...


Thanks again, and Gruesse,

erich.
