Holy crap, this drove me nuts last year – bonkers. I'm pretty sure that that airey's article is the one that set me straight too. It took me a while to find, though.

^if you just use the regular pen tool (not the one with the + for add anchor point) and click on your path, it'll add the anchor point you want. As you click, hold it down and drag it away to make a nice curve. It gets a bit screwy if you're too close to other points and might delete them, you'll have to zoom in. Also make sure you don't have curve handles in the way.

Don't use the Pathfinder tool, pathfinder combines & flattens everything you select. For instance: If you outline the letter 'O' the n use pathefinder, the center of the O will get filled.
Try doing this, I do eveytime and its easy. Option click the "merge" button found inside the pathfinder pallette. This gets rid of those extra anchor points you don't want.

Had the same problem... drove me insane. Completely freaked out over this f***ing program...
havn‘t read all the contributions so far, so somebody might have already come up with this solution:
try alt + „dem formbereich hinzufügen“ (well, I only have the german version... it‘s among the pathfinder tools – the one that melts objects together)- ITS CALLED MERGEimnotadesigner

I'm really confused by this thread...
What the the outline stroke command?
Are you talking about "create outlines"
why don't you just use create outlines.

Almost looks like Abode intended to do that, so that you can use more filters and effects.
