prob getting ourselves mixed up somewhere.
From a cold start - this is what i did to create a new symbol library
called "fred" and copy an existing symbol into it.
open symbol editor
file > new library > [select location / create folder etc. and give lib
a name "fred" select save
add it to the global table in the requester that pops up
library "fred" is now created
"fred" should now appear in the library list on the left hand side of the
symbol editor
select a library with the symbol you want to add to library "fred"
e.g. 4xxx, 4001
file > save as
select library "fred" from the "Save Copy of Symbol" pop up window
either keep the same name or give it a new one. I left the same name
select save
that's it for the copy process.
There is one other operation you will need to do however.
Once you have copied all the symbols you want to, you then need to ensure
that the library is saved to disk. In the list it will have a "*" against
it in my setup (linux) it's also highlighted in blue - indicating that
the library has been changed and needs saving
Right click on "fred" and select save.
Hope this gets you going.

The trouble I am having with this, Andy, is that when you save the symbol
to the new library it says this library already exists and if I go ahead it
will be overwritten. What I want to do is *add* the symbol to this library
rather than replace it.

OK,
Use the symbol editor and load the symbol you want to put onto your
new lib.
Then select "save as" from the file menu. Select your own lib from the
list that pops up and then save.
Job done

OK, I am having some trouble with this. The first step " Open the symbol
editor and select new library, give it a name etc and use
it as you would any other library." I have done.
I get stuck on the second step. You said " As you have already designed
some symbols load each one up, change the
working library to your new lib and resave."
I can find know way to load a symbol into this new library. Import
symbol does not work, it says the symbol already exists in antorher
library. So what exactly do you mean by "load them up"?
