That requires you knowing where you are, exactly on the page.
I always do a series of skips and spaces but I know where the
line is when I print.
Here is a some heading and then some lines all on the same page:

Printing lines is going to require a good bit of testing to get the
"exact" results you want
and it can be different results(slightly) with different printers.
PS: Some fonts will be different if printed on different printers and
that will change the
alignment of the form.

I am using GUMBO to email an *AFPDS spooled file to PDF. But that is just
for testing. In production I will be printing to a LAN attached laser
printer in the warehouse.
this font seems to work ok:
A FONT(2304 +
A (*POINTSIZE 12 10))
2305 being the bold version of 2304.
What I am having trouble understanding is how do I use POSITION on the same
page as I am using line feeds to advance down the page. So I print 12
heading lines and then want to print a horizontal line across the page.
The LINE function prints a horizontal line but I think it takes an absolute
position. But how to know that absolute position after printing x number
of header lines?
