That sounds like a good idea, Alan.  I did copy the library to
mylibrary.   When I figure out how to delete parts from a library and
copy and paste parts from one library to another, I will build my own
custom library as you suggested.

Right now, I'm taking baby steps with Eagle, staggering like
Frankenstein's monster on the loose.    Falling down on every second
or third step.

I tried your suggestion, Wag.   But I tried to make a completely
filled pad, and I don't know how to fill a circle, or if it's even
possible.    On the other hand, I guess it wouldn't hurt to use an
unfilled circle if I made the circle rather thick,  since I will be
putting switch leads into the middle of the circles.     Anyway, I did
change the color of layer 91 after reading your suggestionsâ€"just to be
sure my circles and wires were actually going into the copper on the
trace side of the board.   Thanks for the suggestions.
