RE: gEDA-user: tragesym.py question

["Ostheller, Joel A. " <JOEL.A.OSTHELLER@xxxxxxxx>]

Solved! Ahhh... =) I would be willing to bet my issue was with the
"./dir_name". I believe I tried $HOME, ~, dir_name, with the origional
gschemrc file. Had I tried ./dir_name it probably would have worked. It is
nice to know that gschemrc has been dated with gafrc. Thank you

Additionally... Thanks to Werner for the link to
http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:tragesym_tutorial

This also was much more helpful the the link I had followed to
http://www.h-renrew.de/h/tragesym/tragesym.html

The wiki tutorial on tragesym should also be updated to include your helpful
steps. Thank you again!
