	shift-selecting the items should work, *IF* you select them in
the right order (which is probably what a box select is doing luckly).
First select the object to receive the attributes (ie the pin), and then
select the attributes to attach.

	The other alternative to this is to double click the pin and then
use the multi attribute add/edit dialog box to add/change the attributes.

	I wonder if this is documented somewhere... lemme look, yeah,
there is a short blurb in gschem.txt on this (in the Attribute/Attach
section).  I am in the process of updating the docs which is why they
were not distributed with 20020825, sorry about that.  
	
	On a sorta related note, I don't think I was clear about something
in the 20020825 release notes.	The pinseq= and pinnumber= attributes are
just attributes and they completely replace pin#=#.  A set of properly
attached attributes to a pin looks like:

P 300 700 0 700 1
{
T 200 750 5 8 1 1 0 6
pinnumber=1
T 200 650 5 8 0 1 0 8
pinseq=1
T 350 700 9 8 0 1 0 0
pinlabel=A
T 350 700 5 8 0 1 0 2
pintype=in
}

You need a "T x y color ..." line for every attribute (just like any other
attribute).
