line 11) ends 5,068 from the top. We add 42 pels to 5,068 and get 5,110. 

We state the same values for left and right edge as the black frame, and define the
thicknes of our frame to be 1/6" (40/240") by adding 40 to the top edge.

We do not want a border only a raster filling, and therefore we leave this blank. But we will
have a light shading and we enter the value B which is a light 600dpi pattern.

For the repeated frames we must first state the distance from the top of the first frame to
the top of the next frame. We want to place a frame behind every second item line and as
the frame is 1/6” (40 pels) thick in the vertical direction and we want 1/6” inch between the
frames, we must add these two values. This gives us 40+40 = 80 pels.
 
We want 6 frames total which means we should repeat the frame 5 extra times.

We press Enter to save our new sequence line 19.

We now want to define some frames to divide the item lines columns in the spool entry:

We want to place the definition just after the previous definition of the raster frames, and
we enter 19,1 for inserting an overlay element before sequence line 20:

The line should start just below the black frame defined in sequence line 11. 

We add 4 pels to the bottom of the black frame and we get 5,072 for the top of the item
line frame.

We set the left edge equal to the black frame (1,120) and we set the right edge 1 inch
higher minus a few pels (1,120-0,004=1,116). This will give a small space between each
column frame.

We measure the bottom edge to be around 7½” (7,120).

As we have precisely 1 inch between each column we can move right 1 inch and repeat 4
times to get 5 identical columns.
