Oh!  I forgot you can use the rectangle tool to make pads too.  That
could be very helpful.

I do 99% of my footprints in a text editor, however, since I can keep
the content clean and organized that way, with lots of comments, and I
can do easy, direct entry of coordinates (easy mainly except that I
have to convert to the imaginary-line-endpoint style of coordinates for
pads).

Colin
