I'd like to add my major difficulty with troff - trying to use the -me
macros and get an entire document printed in a different point size. I've
tried .ps, and .sz, but it seems that the moment I use .sh, the point size
reverts to some earlier default (it looks to be about 10 or smaller). I'd
like to have the entire document printed in 12 point, but putting .sz and
.ps commands after every .sh command is a royal pain... Any ideas? I
thought I might just go hacking the troff source (ug.), if nothing turns up.
I'm running Ultrix 2.0, in case it matters. Thanks.
