No, I think you'll find it's this line,
. if \\n[.$] \&\\$*
that's placing any parameters as `input'.

Ah, yes. In the manpage macros, this works similarly: all
paragraph macros reset the indent to what it "should" be
(so that any ".in" invocations within a paragraph will be
undone at the beginning of the next paragraph). Tha

I wonder, how do you 'deploy' your own MM macros?
Just pick the ones y

I forgot to escape the \w request (first line).
Here's the corrected verstion:

Hello, all
I often need to typeset single hanging paragraphs
like:
PS: Example of a post-scriptum, it has a hanging
indent.
I have created a macro for this, which
1. Calculates the length of the label and
increments it by one,
2. Begins a variable-item list (MM's .VL)
