DJ,

Yes. That worked. At first, I thought it wasn't working, but then I 
realized the new text was just upside down, not mirrored. When I rotated 
it, it was correct. Going to the component side now shows the text 
mirrored, as it should.

Another insight into the inner workings of PCB.

BTW: I had no problem determining what check-boxes were checked in my 
GTK 1.2.10/2.24.31/3.18.9 system. In mine, they are radial buttons, not 
check-boxes. I compile from source and I have no GTK specification in 
the configure options, so I am not sure if it is using GTK1 or GTK2. 
Probably not GTK3 yet.

Thanks much.
Girvin
