>Description:

	In shar.1:

		>To recreate the program directory:
		>.Bd -literal -offset indent
		>mkdir ls
		>cd ls
		>...
		><delete header lines and examine mailed archive>
		>...
		>sh archive
		>.Ed

	"..." is misinterpreted as roff command.
	Then "man shar" displays as follows

		>           mkdir ls
		>           cd ls
		>           <delete header lines and examine mailed archive>
		>           sh archive

	"..." is disappeared.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	man shar
>Fix:
	Apply this patch.
