Linesets are used when outputting text on PLATO that is other sizes than the default size of 0. Unlike character sets, which are used for size 0 (normal text), linesets are made up of line vectors, with an ending coordinate to specify where to place the cursor, next. This makes linesets akin to proportional outline fonts, and can be used as such. It definitely saves from having to draw repeated characters using the screen editor, over and over again! :)
