The easiest way to do this is to use the markers, click on the markers pull-down
select a marker, then just mark the nodes you want to measure.  At least I
think it should work that way.  I just downloaded a copy and started playing
with it a few days ago.

BTW - The copy I downloaded seems to missing some of the libraries, e.g.
    burr_brn.slb
    dig_ecl.slb
    opto.slb
    misc.slb
    special.slb
    swit_rav.slb
    swit_reg.slb
    thyristr.slb
    xtal.slb
    dig_pal.slb
    dig_gal.slb
    europe.slb
    markers.slb

Do you know where I can get this?  Also, is there an ftp site around with
models, libs, circuits, and such that can be downloaded?

Thanks,
