Remarks

hpIBox() is included for compatibility with earlier versions of Escape!.
The use of hpIBox() is not recomended because it can be functionally
replaced by hpBox() with 'I' (for Inches) passed as the <cUnits> parameter.

If <nTop> and <nBottom> are the same, Escape! draws a horizontal line.
If <nLeft> and <nRight> are the same, Escape! draws a vertical line.
Use hpIBox() to draw lines and boxes anywhere on the page.
