Hi Bob,

The version of PADS seems to be pretty stupid when it comes to routing
ground and +5V lines.  It seems like it is trying to route the board the
way I drew the schematic rather than making rational choices like where is
the nearest source.  While I have been able to move a net that connects two
points, I have not been able to figure out how one disconnects a net and
reconnects it somewhere else.

If you could tell me what I am missing here or give me a couple of
pointers, I would really appreciate the help.
