   `\vspace[*]{length}'

   The `\vspace' command adds vertical space.  The length of the space
can be expressed in any terms that LaTeX understands, i.e., points,
inches, etc.  You can add negative as well as positive space with an
`\vspace' command.

   LaTeX removes vertical space that comes at the end of a page.  If you
don't want LaTeX to remove this space, include the optional `*'
argument.  Then the space is never removed.
