P.S. Did you determine what the syntax error display was from?

No, never did. Just shows up in the XP version.

Eventually made Some progress by playing around.
Thanks.

The schema created in the latest version (LTspiceXVII) can contain characters in a different encoding. For example, I can write a comment in Russian. The old version (LTspiceIV) will not accept such a scheme.

Glad to hear that, Max.
There is a steep learning curve for LTspice with a big initial hill, but I think you will find that, once you've become more familiar with it after a little more practice, it will become a really useful tool that's reasonably easy to use.
And certainly we're here to help you through the humps.
