6. Now we can add the box around “IGP.” The Box command (LB) is part of
the extended graphics command set. In this example, it must be input as
part of the alphanumeric command sequence (input prior to the sequence
terminator). Use a Horizontal Tab command (T) to position the starting
point of the box 0.9 inches (
dis ) from the left margin. Use a Justification
command (J) with a zero justification to begin the box at the top of the
form. Enter the Box command (LB) to create a box 4.2 inches wide (
horz )
and 2.5 inches tall (
vert ) with horizontal ( h ) and vertical ( v ) borders 3 dot
rows thick.
