Use the .OH and .EH header macros described in "A Revised
Version of -ms" that is part of the 4.3 BSD distribution.
If you set them thusly at the beginning of your file:
   .OH ''''
   .EH ''''
you won't get any page numbers.

Haven't figured this one out.  I can do it with -me, but not -ms.
There's always library paste.
