Thank you, Peter, it got it. 
Strange to me is that in my letters i forgot to use the .ALL_DONE macro and
still it somehow seems to have been executed.

Also strange was that by commenting out the offending lines mom-style (\#) i
got a "stack underflow" message after processing the text at first. Then i
commented out with ".ig" and ".." which led to ignoring the input lines after
.COSING. After further experiments i changed again to \# comments which
works but i may not leave out the .ALL_DONE macro with impunity anymore.
(all of this refers to the uncommented om.tmac file that came with
groff-1.20.1)
 
Sometimes computers are very puzzling... 

but, hey, it is working now!

thanks again
