Thanks.
Now=2C what would be = the semantics for a relevant gafrc command to gschem to find the symbol I m= ade? Looking in /usr/share/doc/geda-gaf/examples I found:
cat /usr/shar= e/doc/geda-gaf/examples/RF_Amp/gafrc
(component-library "=3B./sym&qu= ot=3B)
(component-library-search "=3B./sym"=3B) So=2C is '=3B= ./sym'=3B equivalent to '=3B~/sym'=3B? Do I then append this line = to my gafrc file? Is there a way to get it to show in the '=3BAdd Compon= ents'=3B
dialogue box=2C or would that do it?
Thanks again.
