Chuckle...  ;-)  You forgot to mention it, but to me that is a BS 
workaround I'd not settle for calling less than a bug.  Maybe it still 
won't run after the reboot, I haven't tried it.  Shrug.  Its too darned 
close to winderz anyway, and it really pi$$ed me off when I had to click 
through a damned EULA to install the winderz ttf fonts.  That sorta crap 
gives me the hives, like its got some penicillin in it or something.

I've lived through that (a pen reaction) twice, but really, once was 
enough.  I got the msg the first time, but my Dr. didn't.

I've since taken a better look at QCad, it does look as if it will do what 
I want, provided I can get the number,number order correct in the command 
line.  Their online help isn't much help.  Overviews galore, but no real 
howto's.  But when I'm awake, not the case this time of the night, I'll 
figure it out.  This I think is a case of the mouse not being all that much 
help, good for clicking icons, but pixel by pixel just isn't accurate 
enough.  So the command line rules in this case.

Thanks Kyle.
