Control Characters in nroff

[artp at motbos.UUCP]

Does anyone out there have experience in embedding non-printing ASCII characters
in an nroff file ?  For example, the NEC Laser Printers use an ASCII FS (Form
Separator) character to control various font / print modes.  I have had no
problems embedding an ASCII ESC (Escape), but the FS is stripped out.

I have tried using translations (.tr), escape character redefinition (.ec),
multiple backslashes, \&, etc. All result in the FS being stripped out of
the output stream.
