Details:

The 'info' documentation for groff version 1.22.3 says:

 -- Escape: \D'command arg ...'
    . . .
     '\D'l DX DY''
          Draw a line from the current location to the 
          relative point specified by (DX,DY), where positive 
          values mean down and right, respectively. 

I think that should say "right and down" not "down and right".

In other words, DX is rifht-left offset, and DY is down-up offset
