Hi all,

I'm playing with pcb, hoping to migrate to gEDA/pcb from Protel 99 
(which I've been keeping alive in virtual machines...)

Can someone explain to me the "right way(s)" to edit/re-work tracks in 
pcb? Right now, I find that if I don't like a track's routing, I have to 
go and individually delete each segment in the problem area, using 
delete or backspace, which is slow and inelegant.

Is there a quick way to select and delete an entire (manually routed) 
track? Or a portion of it?

I guess pcb has no auto-loop-removal, like Protel. Is that right? That 
is, if you add new path electrically in parallel with an old path, the 
old section is automatically removed. Anything like that in PCB?

Tips appreciated...
