Sure. Use a utility that generates those lines. From an old post of mine:

(After discussing PCBLOGO, which is a shareware program that converts BMP 
to Protel)

But there is a free program available which can accomplish similar goals. 
Connect to www.idrive.com. Visit abdlomax. Activate the link under Storage, 
Convert.zip. Check the box beside Convert.zip and push the Dowload button.

Unfortunately, I just checked and idrive is not allowing guest access, 
temporarily, they claim.

The same file is in the files section for protel-users@egroups.com, the 
backup user reflector on egroups.com. You don't have to join the mailing 
list to access the file, but I do recommend that all Protel users join this 
list. At present, postings to protel-users are rare, except when we suspect 
that the techserv list is down. Because some of us need quick access to 
other users, facing a deadline and encountering some problem, this backup 
list was started. It is also serving, as we see here, to provide file 
storage space for us.

Here is a URL for downloading the file:

http://www.egroups.com/files/protel-users/Convert.zip

*Case is important in the filename.*
