I'm about to start drawing the underside of a 2-layer board, and need to 
be sure I'm using the correct layer for the underside.

Please can someone check my sanity here: I seem to remember making 
2-sided PCBs using pcb, where 'top' (red artwork) and 'bottom' (blue 
artwork) denoted just that.

In my current release (20110918), 'ground' seems to have replaced 
'bottom'; at least it creates blue artwork!

Before I waste a load of time drawing on the wrong layer, how can I be 
sure of the difference between 'ground' and 'bottom'? I'm pretty sure 
I'm still using the default configs.

Regards,
Matt.
