A friend of mine is working on this master's thesis, and he wants to use
LaTeX to format it.  So far, he's having a devil of a time putting
the page number of the upper right hand corner:


    +------------------------------------------------------------+
    |						^	^	 |
    |						|	| .5 in  |
    |				top margin	|	V   .5 in|
    |                                 	    1 in|   pg.no  <---->|
    |                                           |        	 |
    |						|		 |
    |						V     1 in	 |
    |						 <-------------->|
    |								 |
    |						   side margin   |
    |								 |
    |								 |

We've looked through the LaTeX book, but couldn't seem to find any
references that help.

I imagine this kind of format must come up quite often, especially
for technical documents.  Does anyone have a solution? 


Thanks,
Daniel
