Hi Glen,
Apparently I cant use PCB, but have to use PCB-GTK. When I do I get:

From http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:pcb-quick_reference:
Alt+S sizehole increase the hole of the object under the cursor
Alt+Shift+S sizehole (-) decrease the hole of the object under the cursor
Ctrl+S sizehole increase the hole of the object under the cursor
Ctrl+Shift+S sizehole (-) decrease the hole size

Alt+s gives me Settings, Ctl+s gives me nothing

:ChangeSize(SelectedPins,+1,mm) gives me nothing

There a lots of tutorials, but is'nt there an authoritative manual for geda?

                          You may also want to do a <b>ls -l </b>(list

                        <p>On my computer there is a difference between

                            When your computer is configured correctly
