Hello
I write
;fn aa {eqn $1^.ms |troff -ms | dpost -f >$1^.ps}
but then
;whatis aa
fn aa {eqn $1^.ms|troff -ms|>$1^.ps dpost -f}
What's going on?!
Thanks
Ruda

that's just how td decided that rc should deparse commands.
i/o redirections come first. you will notice that the deparsed
function is functionally equal to your original.
