I have been trying to get nroff to create tagged indented paragraphs without
dropping down an extra line.

----- I want
tag1	paragraph1 and
	other hanging stuff
tag2	paragraph2 and hanging
	stuff belonging to
	the second tag
tag3	etc
-----

------ I'm getting
tag1	paragraph1 and
	other hanging stuff

tag2	paragraph2 and ...
------

I've tried everything in the -man macro library.  'TP doesn't work, and I can't
get anything to not give me the extra blank line.  Before I go hacking on my
-man macro package I'd be curious to learn how to make it work with the
existing tools.  The "FILES" section in the "UNIX programmer's manual" does
the unbroken .IPs, and /they/ wrote the -man package... so there /must/ be a
way to do it.
