Hi All,
My brain is not comprehending how to draw an arrow. I click the line tool, select the single arrow option click the first point, left click the finish point and then right click and all I get is a line?
Obviously, I'm missing something...

Try changing the style of the arrow heads, Tools -> Set properites -> Arrow Heads. The default settings are often WAY to small....
Or for the prettier arrows, use the WARROWD command.

Depending on what line thickness you're using, you may get a better result drawing a separate arrowhead polygon and placing it on your line. The automated arrowhead lines can look pretty unappealing, because sometimes the line-end extends beyond the tip of the arrow, as if it's been blunted.

Thanks folks,
Yes, the default arrows look a little peculiar...
