I am a student taking COBOL, and I can't seem to grasp the DISPLAY
statement.

I used it in my program, and wanted blank lines displayed between each
display. It finally took my displays that say something, but I can't
get it to display a blank line.

I tried:

DISPLAY BLANK LINE.

and

DISPLAY LINE 6
    WITH BLANK LINE.

got a compiler error.

Can someone help me with this? I know we aren't required to display
anything in our class...but I would really like to know what I am
doing wrong.
