Some time back Hans provided a rather elabaorate macro that
put a bevel type frame around a page. Now I am looking for
something much less elaborate for an entire document. I wish to
surround each page with a simple rectangle. perhaps 1 point
thickness. The frame would be inset from the paper edge perhaps
3/8 inch on all four sides. The text would be set with margins of
perhaps 3/4 inch all around on letter size paper. 

Can this be done simply? Is metafun the path to follow?
