Within the meaning of "paired" as we have been discussing the issue, top and bottom overlays (legend, silkscreen) are already paired. >specially when Protel does such a lousy job of handling designator and part >numbering.

Near as I can tell, this has nothing to do with pairing. But I'm not exactly sure what Mr. Broome is talking about. The way that Protel handles repeated section designators could be improved (I'd like a dialog box or configuration file or something other way to control the process), to be sure, but that is another topic.
