Hi, kicad team,

i'm newbie here.

I use kicad for simulation with ngspice.

Currently when you add directive .title in a textbox and generate 
netlist you have this :

.title KiCad schematic
QQ1 /collector /base 0 Q_NPN_CBE
VV1 Net-_V1-Pad1_ 0 dc 0
VVSENSE1 Net-_V1-Pad1_ /collector dc 0
II1 0 /base dc 20u
.title BJT caracteristics
.model Q_NPN_CBE npn
.dc vv1 0 50 2 ii1 15u 75u 15u
.end


I have create a little patch to replace the default title if exist and 
then you can have :

.title BJT caracteristics
QQ1 /collector /base 0 Q_NPN_CBE
VV1 Net-_V1-Pad1_ 0 dc 0
VVSENSE1 Net-_V1-Pad1_ /collector dc 0
II1 0 /base dc 20u
.model Q_NPN_CBE npn
.dc vv1 0 50 2 ii1 15u 75u 15u
.end

What is the process to suggest this improvement ?
