I have a problem in troff using the -ms macro.  I'm trying
to automatically generate a list of tables with page numbers.
I put the tables inside .KF/.KE floating keep for obvious reasons.

The problem is that if the table is located at the point it
is generated, the page number I grab from \n(PN is fine. BUT,
if the keep floats to the NEXT page, the page numbering is
off by one.  So...how do I get the actual page the keep
ends up on?

If you know what I'm talking about :-) and you can help solve
my problem, please e-mail me, or post if it bounces.

Thanx,

Tom.
