Wrap the file in a shell script and it can contain all the things you
want. A `here file' fed to sed(1) to `s/^x//' stops the troff source
accidentally containing the `E' ending the here file.
sed 's/^x//' <<\E
x1
xE
x3
E
Most people don't want things hard-coded so the user can state local
papersize, e.g. letter v. A4.
