John,
Have you printed out the tutorial in EAGLE? If you print it out, you
will find a section that discusses "Copper Pouring". I don't know
why they call it that, but I have used it and after following along
with the tutorial and doing some projects on my own, I found it to be
quite easy. It only takes some practice.
Good luck.
