How do I hide the footer on a title page of a .fm file?

I'm trying to create a simple Framemaker file that has a title page as its first page. I do not want the footer I create on the master page to display on the title page. Is there a way to do this?

    The footer is defined on a master page, so as Jeff mentioned, create another master page that omits the footer, and apply it to the first page in your file.

    IIRC you can go about doing this in 2 ways - use the same file but apply a different master page to the title page or use a separate file to act as the title page in the book.

    This might sound really dumb, but how do you create a new master page and assign it to a particular page? Thanks.
