Roland,
Thanks so much for replying to my request for help. Much appreciated.

I tried opening up the embedded version of the schematic and saving under
another name. When doing so, the newly created version also has 
“refdes=?”!

Does gschem cache schematic data?  This behavior makes no sense to me.
Keep wondering if I did something stupid.  I can send you the .sch file if
that is helpful. 

Roger
