*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

I have one simple (?) question about nroff.  How do you get leaders (a bunch
of dots between strings, like in an index or table of contents)?  The
NROFF/TROFF user's manual says that the .lc command does it, but I can't for
the life of me figure how to use it.  Could someone please give an example?

Another related question:  Can I use .lc within a table (using tbl)?  If so,
how?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
