Orson,

You must have missed the original conversation.  We cannot have spaces
in symbol library nicknames until the schematic and symbol library file
formats are implemented.  I didn't want to make a change to the current
schematic file format.  Once they are in place, I will remove the spaces
restriction.

Cheers,

Wayne
