Yes, removing those statements solved my problem.  Thanks very much.  I 
have no idea how that offending ElementArc statement got in there.  I 
probably did something in my ignorance when I created the footprint in 
pcb.  I now know what to look for if I do it again.

Is there a list of the keyboard shortcuts in pcb?  I am seeing other 
users using some keys that I am not aware of.  It would be nice to have 
a list handy to use.  For instance, I am not aware of any way to change 
the flags in pcb.  However, I am sure there must be a way, other than 
hand editing.

Thanks again for the help from everyone.
