Varying bottom page margin using -mm macros

I'm using nroff -mm to format a document.

By default, a bottom page margin of about 7 blank lines is placed on each
page.  I want to print in this area, but can't seem to override the default
bottom margin.  (I'm using .MT 4 to set the document style).

I tried the .VM macro but it only lets me increase the bottom margin, not
decrease it!

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
