The easiest way is with the 'Line' tool.
Holding 'shift' while you draw your line will keep it straight .

I guess I use the path tool... click the mouse at the beginning and the end. I want to fill color in below this line...

How do I do that?

Or you can use the brush tool and make a first dot then hold the shift key down and drag the mouse in the direction you want the line.

Since I have you here... (the experts).... how do I fill in below the line that I draw??

For instance, I draw the line halfway up a page and then want to fill in a color from the halfway mark (the line) to the bottom...??

Thanks.

If the line goes from end to end just use the paint tool. if the line does not go from end to end (has gaps) make a rectangule selection the size you want to filled and use the paint tool.

or use a shape.
don't rateize the shape.
That way you can always
increase/decrease size as needed.
