troff -me

[Let me preface this by saying that I am not an 
nroff/troff or -me expert.]

How does one get multiple pages blank except for headers and
footers to print?  The -me .sk directive will only work for
one page, and experimentation with various combinations of
".bp" and ".sv <large number>" has lead nowhere.

My undying gratitude and sincere thanks go to anyone who can
solve this.

Many thanks to all the people who replied to my previous article
or otherwise contacted me.  The solution is so simple it's hard.

Thanks again.

For the curious -- the most frequently mentioned solution is a
series of .bp's alternated with \0's.
