> I guess the File->Import Schematics action found that file and used it?

By default, for layout foo.pcb it looks at schematic foo.sch.  You can
override that with attributes.

> How would I specify which attributes to add to the elements?

It's *supposed* to copy whatever attributes you add to the symbols,
but it might be using a fixed table in the backend script.  I don't
recall how that bit of scheme works.

> I guess I'll stick with gsch2pcb for a while.

Why?  Do you find gsch2pcb more convenient?  It's clear from your mail
that the two basically do the same thing...
