Okay Jon,
My error. It was the following statement:
"The Protel PCB Gerber importer does not support modal mode. Each coordinate
line needs to have a Dcode command. Modal mode simply means that the Dcode
command is set at the start of a group of coordinates and the command applies
until another Dcode command is found."
That's what I was recalling from my failing memory.
For the original posters information, the Gerber import format is explained in
Protel/Altium's KB Item 2215.
Sincerely,

They write it suppressed, so obviously will take it suppressed. I think
files with all coords shown will read in fine, too.
