I am using nroff with the ms macros. I want to set the left printing margin
to 4 spaces to the right of the paper's or files's left margin. I use the
following nroff command:
/usr/bin/nroff -ms nroff_header FILENAME
The file nroff_header includes the following commands:
.LP \"invoke the ms macro package
.po +4 \"set the left margin 4 spaces from the left edge of the paper
.nh \"disable hyphenation
The result is that the left printing margin is moved 4 spaces to the
right of the paper's or file's left margin for only the first page. The
left printing margin for all of the other pages is the left margin of
the paper or the file.
What do I have to do to move the left printing margin for all of the pages?
Thanks in advance for the help.
