Just to put the record straight (just in case), I did try google a
little. Which made me try the spice-directive-1.sym and
spice-model-1.sym from "spice" library components in gschem. These
allowed me to include a file, or so it seems since I couldn't make it to
work for I couldn't find detailed documentation on these components on
the web.

So, yes I am a newbie, but not clueless. I did try google, but maybe not
*thoroughly*. There is a whole lot of documentation about spice, but I
haven't been able to find a whole lot on gschem. Will give yours a try.
