I think the intention is that it goes in the file menu: "File->Import Schematics" (Although since it is gEDA specific, it might be good to mention that) I've had enough nit-picking for one night I think though.. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
