Ok, that is one way to do it. I meant more that I wanted gschem to
be able to show alt. the formula or the result, i.e. with the
parameter/formula applied.

Strange, we live in world multiple hierarchies (the company, home,
state, etc). Do you have any idea why ?

Parameters (or what to call it) is part of the design process so it
should be natural to have them in a schemata. So the problem is to
make gschem to show either the formula as is or it evaluated.
