OK, I see. :-)

Now I tried a different approach by moving my sender address to
@StartOddTop and reducing @TopMargin to 1.25cm. Now if Lout would
support something like @[Top]BodyMargin, I could set it 6c and start
typing the recipient's address and the text body. The problem with
@Place is, that it doesn't occupy any space on a page, so I would have
to use lots of @LPs or similar to go to 6cm. Dunno if this could be
changed in future versions of Lout?!

Is it possible to set the gap between @StartOddTop and the body of the
document to an arbitrary number? I tried several options from
@BasicSetup, but it didn't work for me. I still have a gap of ~1.2cm.
I'm using "@InitialFont { Helvetica Base 12p }" and "@InitialBreak {
ragged 1.2fx nohyphen }", if that helps.
