Re: gEDA-user: Dumb PCB question - smd parts on back of 2-sided board

[Eric Brombaugh <ebrombaugh1@xxxxxxx>]

Replying to myself:

I did a bit more digging and found the magic 'Tab' key. Now everything 
works as I remembered. Thanks to DJ's tutorial!

Further question though: what's the difference between 'B' and 
'shift-B', other than 'shift-B' does odd things to the position?
