This is probably a simple problem but it gave me some difficulty none
the less ;-)
 
I'd like to seperate my headlines and footlines from the body of the
page by an \hrule.  However, the combinations of things that I tried
to put in \headline seemed unwilling to make a \vbox out of two \hboxes.
I guess I should say that my attempted solution to the problem was to
create two-line headers and footers and make one of the lines an
\hbox to \hsize{\hrulefil}.
 
Assuming I've made myself clear ;-) can someone in netland give me a
hint?
