If you take a look in the source of most styles (the letter style comes to
mind...), you will find the defs you look for in the \ps@* macros (where
* is plain, empty, headings, etc.)

In short, you should redefine the macros \@oddfoot and \@evenfoot to contain
whatever you want the foot of the page to have.

In your special problem (lowering the default page number position), you could
simply increase \footskip . In the letter environment, I find the line

	\footskip 25pt

so putting '\footskip 50pt' in the preamble would lower the footer
aproximatelly 1 cm. You could also put '\advance\footskip 1cm' in the preamble.

Now my question is: Leslie made the nice macros \markright and \markboth to
change the HEADERS! Why the h*ll didn't he do something similar for the
footers????
