Hi Folks,

I have observed something strange with quoted arguments to a macro:


.de amac
\Z'\v'-1m'\\$1\v'1m''
\Z'\v'1m\\$2\v'-1m''
..
Here is the macro amac in operation:
.amac "First argument" "Second argument"


whose output is:


                                     First argument
Here is the macro amac in operation:
                                     econd argument


(i.e. the "S" is not emitted; there is, however, a small space
to the left of "econd").

Any ideas? (groff version 1.18.1),

Ted.
