  7.                                                                                
  8.           \bottommargin{uu}                                                    
  9.

  11. lines.  The  default bottom  margin is  one inch,  or \bottommargin{1IN}.  This
  12. command may  only appear  at the  beginning of  the TeX  input file  before any
