I think I get what you are after. There are two ways to make a vector fill with Corel. The one described is the one that works best. X3 may screw this up so use version 9. (X3's PLT export filter is broken.)
In Corel 9:
Create a rectangle . Go to the 'Interactive Contour Tool. Select the rectangle and then the icon that says 'Inside". Set the spacing to what you need, about .004". Set the number of lines to give you the width you need for the box. (Inches / .004) Press enter to get the set of lines. Export the box as a PLT setting the line thickness as .001, maybe not necessary, but do it.
You can then import the finished border.
Do not use the hatch fill, that will give you lines in one direction that are broken and will be the same as rastering.

Thanks for your input. I have Corelx3, but I think I can work it out. I'll let everyone know how I do in a bit.

Harvey's method will allow you to vector the border and will give the border width so that when you paint fill it it'll look like a border.
