Well, I just played with the 'Array' commad, which I haven't used since R14 many years ago.
Anyway, I did the Array, then used the Scale with Reference to 'shrink' it to my container sides. Then Copyclip w/basepoint then pasteblock. I now have my solid 'line'
I know this is a long pain in the backside way of doing it, but it will have to suffice until I come up with something easier.
Thanks again folks for all of your help. I had fun trying.
