Sorry, my mistake. That should have been \*[SN-DOT], and \*[SN-NO-DOT]
for the case without the terminal dot; (IIRC, these two first appeared in
groff-1.19.1 -- it was I who added them -- so they won't be supported in
any earlier version).

`man groff_ms', or the ms section under `Macro Packages' in the info
manual, for the ms specific stuff. `man 7 groff', (`man -s 7 groff' on
SunOS, or other systems requiring that syntax), does list \& under
`Single Character Escapes'; its use is more fully discussed in the
`Ligatures and Kerning' section of the info manual, (found via the
`Escape Index', from the top node).
