Thanks. Looking through the documentation I even found it in the gschem
FAQ. However I'm a bit confused about net and netname attributes. You
and the net attribute mini-howot suggest that I should specify the net
attribute if I want several thing to be in the same net. In other parts
of the documentation the attribute is called netname though. gschem
offers both in it's dropdown list for adding attributes.
