I'm not sure what's happening there. Is "fp" a script you use to  
start groff? Also note what Keith said about "TMP, TEMP and TMPDIR  
were not all appropriately defined, (and exported, if using a Unixy  
shell)" The prompt suggests you might be using "a Unixy shell," so  
make sure the values are exported as well as defined.
