Altering lines using the Stroke panel
Using the pen tool duplicate all three lines on the page. Each pink square represents where you should "click" to add a point. If there are no lines or handles on the point, it is a click only. If there are lines or handles, the lines indicate the direction and approximate length of the click and drag.
