Use something distinctive.  I think CS was slanted CW, long lost, intended
to represent input.   Even B would do.

I was trying to troff the sam tutorial in /sys/doc/sam but found that it does
not have the CS font in /sys/lib/troff/font/devutf/.  I verified it does not
come with the distribution.  Could someone tell me where I could:  (1) download
the font, (2) find a reasonable substitute for it, or (3) find another tutorial
or set of example beyond the document and manual.  Not surprisingly, sam is so
much easier to do multi-line edits than sed, but there's a lot of potential I am
missing.

Thanks for any help.
Mark

Rob,

Replacing the CS with the CW font worked.  CS was used to indicate input lines
and some section numbers.  As an ex-emacs user, this tutorial was what I was
looking for.  Thanks.

Mark
