Typing from phone so I'll be brief. Just put the header at the bottom of the page and pipe the .ps output through sed to change the vertical position.
I found this easier than moving back up the page in troff.

Since text to appear in my headings is to mirror section names, like '1.2', and a beginning of such a section appears somewhere lower on a page---definitely below the page heading---, I must create a page heading just after the very page is filled, i.e., as I feel, the heading could actually be produced when the ms .BT macro (usually used to typeset footings) is called. So I naively tried to redefine the .BT macro, actually, by just appending 4 extra lines: .de BT .nr PX \\n(.s .nr PF \\n(.f .ft 1 .ps \\n(PS 'lt \\n(LTu .po \\n(POu .if \\n%>0 .tl \(ts\\*(LF\(ts\\*(CF\(ts\\*(RF\(ts .ft \\n(PF .ps \\n(PX .\" ABOVE IS THE ORIGINAL, BELOW MY APPENDIX .mk \v'|0.5i' .tl 'a'b'c' .rt .. Please consider this just as an experiment (no point-size changes,...). This for some reason doesn't work. Since some of you probably have experience, could sb. tell what is wrong? Thank you Ruda
