Troff question.  

I don't understand something about troff's "da" feature for diverting
normal output to a macro.

I think the following should give me "bling blah," instead it gives
me "blah bling."

.da TX
blah
.da
.da TY
bling
.da
.TY
.TX

I think the following should give me "a c b d"  Instead it gives me "a b c d"


.de T@
..
.de TX
\\$1
.da T@
\\$2
.da
..
.TX a b
.TX c d
.T@
