Tim, after all that I went back and started completely from the beginning and did not have a problem with mid (had the 3 choices) and started clicking away with the FMC route input.  It rejected QU203 and PUMAL but took everything else.

I believe we are back in business with your original plan.  I checked the legs and the map plan on the EFIS and stepped thru it.  I have to link up the SID and STAR but it looks good now.

I have no clue and what went wrong an hour ago.
