Hi JP,

I’d like to see if there’s some other way to handle lots of nets.  The double-list method was 
very hard to figure out how to use (although admittedly very efficient once you did).

Interesting.  I had never used it for that, but I can see how it would be helpful.

My thinking was it was sort of like Page Setup.  I’m not terribly attached to the File menu, but 
I'd rather avoid a stumpy menu with just a single item.  Preferences doesn’t fit well either.  Edit 
or Tools perhaps?

(I changed the subject line so this wouldn’t get drowned in the other 5.1 stuff.)
