Yeah, it took me a while to track it down--after discovering a .PF call in code I wrote a few years ago, meaning I apparently found it once, forgot all about it, and had to scour the docs to find it again.  Hence my opening 60504.

That seems best under the circumstances.  Thanks!

Wow.  Talk about something easy to miss.  I have never noticed the scant mention of .PF in pic.ps.

Kernighan's "flyback" is incompatible with mom's handling of pic diagrams, which are managed as floats ("keeps" in ms-speak), so it won't be supported by the mom macroset.  At most, I can add a note to the mom docs telling users not to use it.

(Mom has a dedicated maintainer, so I'm assigning this bug to him.)

The pic preprocessor allows a pic image to be bookended by .PS and .PE, or by .PS and .PF (a fact which bug #60504 seeks to make clearer).

Currently -mom supports .PS and .PE as start and end pic markers (http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/momdoc/images.html#pic).  It should also support .PF (presently unclaimed in the -mom macro space).
