imported paths from photoshop

[htowncoog]

I've cut and deleted most of an imported path in illustrator so I can stroke it as a line, not an inclosed path, but illustrator is still trying to stroke the disconnected points... connect them with the stroke! How do I get it to act like a "point to point" line?

Thanks for the help!

...ok, in my experience i haven't come across such an issue with exported paths from photoshop...

...i take you have deleted the points from the imported path with the white arrow tool (direct selection tool)...

...if using the pen tool (delete anchor tool - one with the minus symbol) it will only keep the object connected after deleting points...

Yea, it seems like I too haven't experienced this issue before, but it happening now. I tried both methods of deleting points, white arrow tool and the (-) pen tool. I cut the path 2 times with the scissor tool trying to seperate the part of the enclosed path I wanted to delete, then the problem began.
