                      5: .bd factor
                      6: .sh DESCRIPTION
                      7: When
                      8: .it factor
                      9: is invoked, it types
                     10: out `Enter:' at you.  If you type in a positive
                     11: number less than 2\u\s756\s0\d (about
                     12: .if n 7.2e16)
                     13: .if t 7.2\(mu10\u\s716\s0\d\|)
                     14: it will repeat the number
                     15: back at you and then its prime factors each one printed
                     16: the proper number of times.  Then it says `Enter:' again.
                     17: To exit, feed it an EOT or a delete.
                     18: .s3
                     19: Maximum time to factor is proportional to

                     24: is prime.
                     25: It takes 1 minute to factor a prime
