The way this system is designed, yes, I need to save and revert. You need
to ensure that the file is saved before running gsch2pcb otherwise it won't
know what he current elements are. And you need to revert afterwards so
that any removed elements vanish in PCB.

PCB works perfectly. You don't need to worry about PCB. Ignore PCB. I am
happy with PCB.

And now thanks to Roland I am happy with gschem as well. He has been
working on exactly what I am wanting and it works nicely.

Besides, generating a script and then importing it in PCB would be a
two-stage operation - press a button in my program which generates the
script, then manually go and import it - when a simple single button press
is far more preferable.
