This is a re-post from yesterday by Norman Walsh <NORM@IONAACAD.BITNET> (I
received a few messages informing me of an abended message; one identified
this specific one, so this may have been the culprit across the board).
Sorry for the duplication for those of you who saw it previously; thanks for
your patience and forebearance to those of you who received the proverbial
gownless evening strap.

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?
