Right now .Pa is not seeing "Ar dir Ns /.somerc" as a complete argument and
will default to the ~ path printing as if .Pa was used stand-alone.

So it seems Pa does not like its own argument to start with another macro
straightaway. But I only looked at it for a few minutes since I have to leave
for work now. Perhaps someone else knows if you can make the entire thing an
argument to Pa easily.
