The video I'm watching says the footprint has to be looked up in the PCB 
layout library.  I googled that and didn't get an useful results.

So I went searching on the pcb-rnd site and ...

On this page, http://repo.hu/cgi-bin/pool.cgi?cmd=show&node=pcblib there 
is a link, http://igor2.repo.hu/cgi-bin/pcblib-param.cgi but when I 
click on it, I get a "Error generating the footprint:" The repo.hu link 
is part of the sentence including "and _an online interface to the 
parametric footprint generators_."

That wasn't very helpful.  The other link in that sentence gave me a 
little info however.  It appears that you can click on the images 
displayed and it links to a site that has the name and values 
(acy(300))  for the footprint as a GET parameter on the url.  
Unfortunately I haven't a clue as to what 300 means.  I'm guessing a 
dimension of some kind.

Still looking...

Is there any way to quiet the message log?  It jumps up right in the 
middle of what I'm doing and covers up what I'm trying to edit.  I don't 
understand most of the messages it's telling me so I can't fix whatever 
is wrong.  Some of it has to do with the net being out of whack.

Thanks,

Jim.
