I'm sorry, I should have spoken more precisely.  What I meant was that
I wanted  to typeset a vertical  bar of a specified  width and height.
TeX has  commands for  this, but AFAICT  TeXmacs has  nothing similar.
That's why I chose to typeset a vertical bar character, then scaled it
and moved it.  It's ugly but I don't know of anything better.

I suspect  the key sequence you  suggest adds the  <mid> character (it
doesn't  work for  me,  but I  think that  is  due to  keyboard and  X
configuration  issues).  That  is great  *if* you  are happy  with the
height  and width that  it chooses  for you.   Unfortunately I  need a
different height and width so that does not help me.
