On our Sun 3 sun-unix3.2 we have the following problem with the
-me macro:
Our ptroff -me shoves everything into the lower left corner of the
page when printed on the Apple/Sun Laser Writer. Ptroff -ms doesn't,
but we like using -me better.
I guessed it's a page offset problem and tried to go into
/usr/lib/tmac/tmac.e (the -me macro) to change the default value
(with .po 1.25i or .nr po 1.25) but wasn't really successful.
Any suggestions?

How we want it.
Including the following command lines at the top of each file
does the job but we would like the default value changed.
.nr po .95i
.nr ll 6.85i
With the above commands, the page offset ends up being more
like 1.25 inches rather than .95 inches.
Thanks,
