Thanks to Todd and David for the answer, that was driving me nuts, not
to mention making me lose BADLY(well, at least contributing to it!)..for
another newbie question.:(  The only way I've seen to get untits to
attack other units is to use Goto, and then clear the Goto flag.  I know
how pitiful these 2 questions probably are, but I have RTFM/docs..Is
there a way to just attack but NOT move/try to move into a square? 
Example:  Units with move capability of 2+ or sitting on roads/railroads
blocking a pass, I don't want them to get out of position, but I DO want
them to attack anything that comes within range..
