Within \hbox es, you can use \hrulefill to generate a "leader" rule
which fills all the available space (just like an \hfil only it
draws a line too).  So if you wanted to create a horizontal rule
that spans the entire page (\hsize) you could do this:

	\hbox{\kern-\leftskip\hbox to \hsize{\hrulefill}}

The \kern-\leftskip should move you back by the amount of left
margin (NOT including the 1in margin inserted by the DVI to
device conversion program).

There is probably a better way to do that, but I haven't got
a TeXbook handy.
