Working with multi-column layouts, I have trouble getting the bottom
lines to come out "even" -- same distance from edge of paper.

With hot type, this is easy as falling off a log.  With mm's .2C, most
pages come out wrong.  I imagine the cause is the way a trap works, but
the solution is beyond me, and I have simply revised my standards!

In the weeks I've been reading postings in this group, it's become
clear that solutions to tough problems are NOT beyond some of the readers, 
and they are generous with their talents,
so I thought I'd give it a whirl.
