} [These] go beyong 80 columns, and if your printer starts a new line for them,
} the top-of-page may get messed up because there are no form-feeds in nroff
} output. Or at least not in MY nroff output.
Of these 4 lines, the only one that exceeds 80 columns in my nroff is the
last one (which I have just shortened by replacing "berkeley.edu" with
"sun.com" both there and in the discussion that follows it). The others run
75 to 78 columns.
All of these lines occur in indented or titled paragraphs (-man macros' .IP
or .TP directives), so I suggest you check what default indentations your
-man macros use. On Berkeley-derived systems, at least, you can change
the indentation by resetting the )R number register (yes, open-paren R).
