Re: gEDA-user: Naming nets across sheets

[James Moody <moody@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course, after I post the question I figure out the answer:  add the 
netname attribute to the net itself.

Well, anyhow, thanks for all of the replies to my questions yesterday. 
It was great how not only were my questions answered quickly, but then 
some of my next questions were anticipated and answered - and then I got 
a discussion on high frequency PCB design to boot!
