Please check the JOIN command - you have there a polyline and a line, so first select the arc shape entity.

when a highlight the pline arc then type join its a unknown command??

Probably the command isn't available in 2004 or is an Express tool (not available in LT). Sorry.

 

Alternatively can use the PEDIT command and his Join option – this will behave differently according with which item you select first. I mean, if start from arc will get directly the edit options, if start from line will be asked first to accept to be converted to a polyline, but the end results are identical.

ok so i highlighted the pline arc first, then PEDIT then JOIN, highlight the two plines and ENTER. ok so far its done this but now is there a way to when I select the line I see a start point and end point of the straight line then the blue box in the middle of the arc which I have just joined to the straight line. can I get rid of the middle blue box? hope that makes sence

can I get rid of the middle blue box?

 

I'm afraid that you can't - is the way AutoCAD mark control points. You can disable the grips only globally - see GRIPS system variable.
