Well, I was going through the program and found a drop-down menu called 
"parts".  You follow that and you see "electronics".  From there, you can 
select components to put in the drawing.  Works fine, except there are a few 
differences.  I.e., instead of the VVVV type of resistors, you have 
rectangular ones.  A small inconvenience compared to the massive task of 
having to draw a bunch of schematic symbols though :^)
