gEDA-user: Multiple symbol gschem components

[Ed & Angie S.]

I looked at the autonumber feature briefly but with a preconceived notion 
that it wouldn't do all of the pages of a flat schematic.  From your comment 
it seems maybe this is wrong.  If I select the "whole hierarchy" instead of 
"current page" will autonumber  number reference designators across all 
pages of a flat schematic?
