[SOH]

I've found an annoying bug in AT&T's ditroff.  The -me macro for
a header, .he, doesn't work in ditroff.  (Neither do .eh and .oh.)

	Input:
		.he ''CENTER HEADING'%'

	Output (at head of page):
		%'   '     tl''CENTER HEADING'%'

Has anybody a fix for this?  The .tl directive seems to work when called
directly.
