In emacs 22 (devel version) there is `hl-line-mode'. If it's not part of emacs 21.4 try to look up a solution on the emacswiki or google groups. I'm pretty sure i had something like this working on emacs 21. For horizontal lines... There is a package called `column-marker' (again look for that at the emacswiki). But i think it's made for a highlighting a fixed column. Maybe you can hack it a bit. David
