Strange, it works when I try it:

	term% cat demo.ms
	.nr HM 5i
	Hello
	term% troff -ms demo.ms|lp -dstdout >demo.ps
	term% grep Hello demo.ps
	(Hello) 720 3720 w
	term% hoc -e 3720/720
	5.166666666667

Is there anything in your input file before the '.nr HM 5i'?  Are your
copies of troff, tmac.s and gs up to date?
