You *can* put control characters in an nroff file. Example, think of the
backspace. That's what nroff uses to underline.
You need to watch out for your lpr command though. Mine runs the file
through a filter specified by printcap. The filter then strips out
all non-printing characters. To bypass the filter, I must specify
lpr -l filename
