Please excuse this, as is may be a simple question.  I've already pored over
the TeX book, and can't find the solution in plain TeX.

Assume I want to set things up so that I can say, "From this point onwards,
indent an additional 20pts".  Hoffset would do me, except that it only takes
effect at the top of the next page.  vboxes would do, excelt they can't span
pages.

Anyone else with some ideas?

basically, I want to do the equivalent of:

\hskip 20pt
\vbox{ possibly a LOT of text - amount unknown }
