All,
Thank you for your comments.

I will take a look at this and see if it is a closer starting point for
where I want to end up than spice-sdb. Thanks for pointing me to the
docs for it. As I said in the write up for the patch I am just learning
scheme. Actually I am only learning it for this project, so I don't
really have a preference as far as that goes. I am currently leaning to
the python approach though as I was going to have to pick it up anyway
as what I have in mind will require some changes to the netlister frontend.

Roland,
Thanks for making the python change (and explaining it)  as well as
applying my little scheme change. I have already made an additional
change to the spice-title code which allows the optional use of the
".TITLE" spice command. It is currently in scheme so I guess I will hold
off on posting it until I pickup enough python to make the change there
as well. As I said above I was going to have to learn python anyway for
some other changes I am thinking about.
