tlctrl
Description
Implemented in version 9.1, this macro invokes the Line Control Stream dialog box, which enables you to create a new line control stream, of tag type .Li. The control stream will determine the use of defined line patterns and their repeats in making up a line created for the document.
The segments for the line are controlled by a line segment control stream (see tlsctrl).
The patterns for the line are controlled by a line pattern control stream (see tlpctrl).
You may also elect to modify an existing control stream by including the name in the macro.
Syntax

The name of the line pattern control stream that you would like to create or modify, in double quotes ( ie. tlctrl "line_ctrl").

This describes a line with the following characteristics:
1. Made up of the blue_magenta_simple pattern
2. Repeat factor of 1
