Arrows in gimp

[Joel Hammer]

I got it to "work." But, there must be an easier way. I guess I will
have to read about gfig before I get it to do anything really useful.
Thanks for the tip.

All I want to do is put a few arrows in an image with labels. This seems
much harder to do than it should be!
