seeking advice on drawing rectangles on a form using filepro 5.8

[Joe Chasan]

The only docs for this fpml stuff I know of is at:
https://www.fptech.com/fptech/Docs/fpml.pdf

Your commands seem to match the doc, however I always have spaces betwen
paremeters when I concoct my own new fpml codes.  Not sure if that makes a 
difference and/or if you left them out by accident when posting.

For something like this it might be less work to use a pre-saved image
like rectangle.png and use image command with the height/width parameters 
to scale it, and X&Y to position it.  If you did that, it would be easy 
to have one code for "hollowed" rectangle and one for filled/shaded one.
