I see what you mean. I also see a few other label alignment issues...
should be fixable. Probably not until later this week, though.

Yes. There are a couple of different (horribly documented, I'm afraid)
ways to do it :

http://www.projectpluto.com/lines.zip (about 22 KBytes)

The text at the top of 'lines.tdf' should give you the idea. You can
say "here's a dataset where each line contains _two_ RA/decs; please draw
lines or boxes connecting them." Or, you can say: "Please connect each
point to the previous point." An example of this is given for constellation
outlines.
