One file only: SEARCH, manual entry of distance, direction does not register and gives a mysterious distance and direction. Using mouse for distance and direction does work. Stretch remembers mouse entry, but entering manually erases previous Prev Dist and substitutes mysterious distance and direction.
Tried purging file to no effect. Tried finding solutions here to no avail.

TIA

In the Utility menu under F0 Settings, is S6 Fixed Ref turned on?

Search? My bad. STRETCH! Hope this makes things easier to address. Restated:
STRETCH: Manual entry of distance & direction does not register and gives a mysterious distance and direction. Using mouse for distance and direction does work. STRETCH remembers mouse entry, but entering manually erases Prev Dist and substitutes the mysterious distance and direction.

Josh's suggestion, S6 Fixed Ref turned on?, did nothing, on or off.

TIA

Check to make sure that your Utility\Settings\Angle Type\Start Angle is set to what you expect. I've found that sometimes it gets changed to another angle (ie. 90, 180, etc.) than what I normally have it set to.

Still no solution and I gave up, exported each layer to new file and extinguished the problem. Do not ask me how much time this whole thing took. I still would like to know what I did or what happened, but onward!

It has been a long time that I have (if ever) looked at Angle Types

Screen shots of Angle types:
