A Simple Question: How do I draw a vertical line?

[Chris Sheffield]

Len,

First off, if you hold down the shift key while drawing your line, you  
should be able to make it perfectly vertical. Second, after your line  
is drawn, simply adjust the lineSize property, which is under Border - 
 > Size on the first pane of the property palette. You can also adjust  
the length using the height property. So I think the trick is to use  
lineSize rather than width to adjust the line thickness.

HTH,
Chris
