I forgot to mention, you have to keep pins ending on gschem's 100x100
grid, and when you're done editing, select everything, and go to
edit->symbol translate (leave 0 in the box), and press ok. This puts the
symbol into the corner of the page, so when you place it that's where it
sticks to the mouse.
