	According to the Red Book (p. 299), the "setmargins" command will
	adjust the margins of the page.  The format is:

			top left setmargins

	where 'top' and 'left' operands are integers that specify how much
	to widen the top margin or lengthen the left margin.  The units are
	in pixels (300/inch for the LaserWriter).  A positive number increases
	the margin, a negative number decreases it.  The command "margins"
	will return these settings.  If you need more help, let me know
	since I've been meaning to play with this feature anyway.
