yes, the warning has gone.
I presume it was a warning, because the
required spacing was created even without
the double quotes.
This line:
\h'15'
gives "unquoted escape" warning.
As far as I can see from the manual,
this horisontal motion is correct.
It is used to shift an equation right:
.EQ L \*[EQNXT]

{ mu ( 3 lambda + 2 mu ) }
over
