With the outside running of a script to get names created, I've done this quite 
well, and am going to regenerate my rows of identical layout with some added 
identical buss interconnect soon because it's less time consuming than copying 
and pasting all that accurately and then changing all the names....

Instead, I'm going to edit the leaf cell, then rerun the copy/number-increment 
script to get it.

The gschem part is to place inout symbols that have one attrib, refdes=SOMENAME
for each pin of the sub schematic and create a symbol with matching pins, and 
attach source=SUBSCHEMATIC_NAME to that symbol.  The symbol pins need 
pinlabel=SOMENAME and it is the same SOMENAME as above.

right mouse is now working to do down schematic or down symbol and edit them.

See:   pcb-hier-cells  description at 
http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/john_griessen/

documentation for the .conf file is in the first few lines of the pcb-hier-cells 
script.
