Using PSP 8 what is the easiest/best way of dividing a landscape format
rectangle into several vertical areas of specified width, and flood filling
them with different colours?

TIA

I would use the Selection tool. Click the Custom Selection button on
its Tool Options palette and enter the specified widths as left and
right edge values in the dialog. Fill each selection as needed.

Another way:
Select a square brush with Hardness 100. Set the size of
the brush to the width you want. Pick your fill color.
Click on the top of the image and note the X coordinate
in the status bar. Move the brush to the bottom of the
image at the same X coordinate, hold Shift and click.

Then again, the nice thing about selections is that they will
snap to grid. That makes it very easy to select precise vertical
areas.

-View, Grid
-View, Snap to Grid
-View, Change Grid etc properties,
set the Current image settings to the rectangle pixel size
needed. Next to that, set Snap influence to 100.

Brushes will snap to a grid too, which makes your suggestion
doubly useful :) If Brian doesn't want a regular periodic
pattern he can use Snap To Guides instead.

Writing 101:

That's "Brushes will snap to a grid, too"
