seeking advice on drawing rectangles on a form using filepro 5.8

[Josh Reader]

I use the moveto command in front of the rect command and that works.  For instance:

<moveto x="20" y="217"><rect height="72" width="360" stroke=".5">

Hi Experts.  Seeking advice on drawing boxes in filepro 5.8

below is a command i am trying but the boxes are not drawing near the x y axis.

350::<rect height="72"width="360"stroke=".5"x="20"y="217">:rectangle
x=20 y=217
  351::<rect height="72"width="360"stroke=".5"x="20"y="517">:rectangle
x-20 y=517

I am inserting the boxes as a printcode on the form and "Allow embedded FPML on form is set to N  .

There is no documentation on things like shade a box, but could that be a option?

Could there be any other un-documented features?

thanks for any help
