That text seems to be about adding screws to the BOM. I suppose I just don't get the implications of what you wrote.

So, with the Schematic screen open, I look for symbols for mounting
holes and I don't find them. Do you see that there is a single crucial
piece of data missing? I'm beginning to deduce that they have to be
added as pads, but until just now, I think that no-one has said so
explicitly, and there is still a question whether that's the best, or
the only, way to do it.

symbols in one of the supplied symbol libraries, but I stopped using
those long ago.

But how do you add mounting holes to a schematic? It seems impossible to
get to a Mounting hole library from the Schematic screen. Do they have
to be added as pads, adjusted to have no copper?
