Horizontal Rules.

The first column to the right of the department names

contains the row headings “BUDGET” and “ACTUAL.” Below the row
headings you want a horizontal rule. So, to put in one rule and to repeat
the headings and the rule once for each department, follow these steps:

1.

Put the cursor on the line containing “Design and layout.” Press LINE.
Then press INSERT. On the blank line you inserted, type a line of
hyphens all the way across the file. Just press the - (hyphen) key and
hold it down. Use the LEFTSCROLL command or the TEDIT TAB key
to shift the text over when you get to the right edge of the screen. Then
continue inserting hyphens until you get to column 118.

2.

Using RIGHTSCROLL or the TEDIT BACKTAB key, move the cursor to
the line containing “BUDGET.” Press the LINE key. With LINE
persisting on the status line, press COPY. The cursor moves down one
line. Press COPY again to copy the line containing the word
“ACTUAL.” When the cursor moves down to the line containing the
horizontal rule, press COPY once more. Now you have copied all three
lines to the scratchpad.

3.

The next step is to retrieve the lines. Move the cursor to the line
following each grouping of department and department head, then
press RETRIEVE.

Copy these three lines.
