Setting Margins
The default top and bottom margins are one line each. You can increase the apparent
size of these margins with a PAGE TITLE or PAGE FOOTING command. If you have
no title, specify PAGE TITLE '' for a top margin of 3 lines or specify PAGE TITLE
SKIP desired-margin-size - 3 for more than 3 lines.
For example, to produce a margin size of 4 blank lines preceding the headings (SKIP 4
- 3 = SKIP 1), enter:
S> PAGE TITLE SKIP 1;
( 4 blank lines appear here. )
