I can't imagine how to understand what
"-C args"  Some text...
   is
.TP
.I "\-C args"
Some text...
   but not simple
.PP
.I "\-C args"
Some text...

Also `-' must be espaped for .I

It came from xnc.hlp.

Well, after generating mc.hlp.ru I understand what you means.  I think 
some of these
"" can be replaced with '.

absent in SCO man package.
Also these constractions are not supported by man2hlp.
