Look up the 3 commands: .rd, .nx and .ex. The .rd reads an insertion from another file (nroff letter < inserts); the .nx goes at the end of the textfile (.nx letter), and the .ex goes at the end of the list of inserts. There's a nice example in this great book...troff Typesetting for Unix Systems, by Emerson and Paulsell. (I am Paulsell.)
