In emacs 22 (devel version) there is `hl-line-mode'.  If
it's not part of emacs 21.4 try to look up a solution on the
emacswiki or google groups.  I'm pretty sure i had something
like this working on emacs 21.

For horizontal lines...  There is a package called
`column-marker' (again look for that at the emacswiki).  But
i think it's made for a highlighting a fixed column.  Maybe
you can hack it a bit.
