+.SH NAME
+reader \- electronic retrieval of typeset documents
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B reader
+.I name
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Reader
+presents the named paper on a 5620 terminal in a form designed
+for readability, not for similarity to the printed version.
+The
+.I name
+is a pathname for a manuscript in the
+.IR papers (7)
+database with
+any final
+.L .d
+elided) or the name of a
+.IR troff (1)
+input file.
+Mouse button 1 selects subheads;
+button 3 moves forward (`more') or backward (`less').
+The program exits completely on button 2, or tentatively (to avoid
+downloading upon reexecution) on button 3 (`done').
+.PP
+When the text in a screen overlaps text in a previous screen, a tick mark
+in the bar (not a scroll bar) at the left of the screen shows where
+new material begins.
+.PP
+Fully installed papers in the database, which appear as directories suffixed
+.LR .d ,
+have been preprocessed so that
+.I reader
+can present figures and complex equations.
+In
+.I troff
+input, it understands straightforward text and
+.IR eqn (1),
+the macro packages
+.IR ms (6),
+.I mm,
+and
+.I me,
+but cannot handle arbitrary motions such as appear in figures and
+complex equations.
