My basic problem is: where do I start?  I installed this with the
hopes of testing out my version of a X10 like circuit (active
and discrete components), and yet I look at the "Circuit" menu
and I get flabergasted - because I was not sure what to do.

Do I open xcircuit first, laydown the components from a
library menu, and then once done, how do I get from there
to spice?

Perhaps an idiot-proof tutorial would come in handy so that
one can go from an idea (a simple circuit will do) all the way
through the process to the end-product?

I mean, from conception, to schematic, to spice analysis, to pcboard
(end product)?

I think this would be of benefit and in case there already is one,
where please? :)

Thanks!
