Compare:

	/n/fqa/fqa7.ms:1200

with

	/n/fqa/fqa7.html:1398

The HTML is generated with htmlroff -u -ms -mhtml. I agree, when it
comes to displaying commands meant to be typed into the terminal
window, it would be better to keep the actual character used in the
input.

I will look into this when I get a chance.
