Exactly what I am after. Fantastic.

Thanks so much for that. I will try it.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I frequently make
linear curves in QTR in the Curve Creator.  Under the selected ink, the drop
down menu includes "Load curve."  In the next box to appear select the
"Point list" tab.  In that box enter the end points of the curve.  For
example, if I want a linear curve from 0 to 45, the hypothetical ink limit,
I can enter (0, 0) in the first box and (100, 45) in the next.  This will
draw a straight line between those two points.  The curve preview in the
Point List box shows it.
