I am a new LaTeX user and have what should be a dumb question but I
cannot figure out from reading the manual.  I am using a document
type of article and within that I am use a list type of verse.
This is indenting things about 0.4 inch.  How do I change the
value of the leftmargin of the indented stuff.  I tried putting
"\leftmargin 0.75in" right after the "\begin{verse}" and that
didn't appear to do anything.  I thought, from the figure on page
113 of the manual, that this would be what I should do.  So, how do I 
make this change for verse or any other of the display environments?

Please reply by e-mail.  Thanks in advance.
