I am unable to get the macro eqn to work under groff.  The problem is
explained with the attached short example.

As the example explains I am using groff v 1.19.2 on a MAC workbook. Much
appreciate any help you can give me.

SAMPLE PROGRAM
.PP
This example program illustrates the problem I am having with the preprocessor 
'eqn'.
Basic groff seems to work and the macro '-ms' seems to work, but not eqn, 
either for in-line equations, such as $F = ma$ or for equaiions set off with 
.EQ/.EN, such as
.EQ
F  = m sub j a sup k
.EN

I am using groff v  1.19.2 on a MAC workbook.  
.PP
I suspect that I might be using the command line incorrectly.  I am using groff 
-ms example.txt > example.ps.  I get no error messages with this command.
I have tried every permutation of the command that I can think of, all without 
success. This has included the extension -e in various positions in the command.

I have used troff successfully under unix on a SUN and more recently groff 
under Linux on a PC.  I am new to the MAC.
