I just installed the UNIX-TeX software and I am having trouble
with LaTeX output --- The printed output seems to be formatted
for a 7x9" page. 

How can I tell LaTeX to generate a 8.5x11" page?  I've looked
though Lamport's LaTeX book, the TeXBook, the .sty files and
the TeX source code. 

Is there a magic cookie I have to set?  Do I have to change all
of the .sty files?  Is my configuration munged up in some obscure
way?


Thanks,
