I am using nroff and mm macros to format a "Memorandum for File" type of
document.  As the first line, I have specified ".nh", thinking to turn off
hyphenation.  However, nroff thinks that any place I have a hyphenated word
is fair game to split accross line boundaries.  Would someone please mail
me a note telling me how I have mis-read the manual and how to tell nroff
to leave words like "mis-read" intact (not split).  Thanks.
