Your terminology is mostly good, only the "bus" part was a bit off (that 
has a different meaning, bundling multiple signals into "one line").

You can make a connection multiple ways, this tutorial video shows the 6 
different methods that already work in sch-rnd:

https://archive.org/details/sch-rnd-tut-creating-networks

Some of these involve drawing wires, some involve drawing non-wires, 
some do the connection only using attributes (textual data).

For the symbol based approach you could use the generic rail symbol and 
edit the rail attribute to "net-1" or whatever else. As a user I prefer 
using a stub wire and adding a name attribute to it (with a floater). All 
covered in the video.

Btw, I recommend subscribing to the pcb-rnd mailing list where I can 
provide the same support. It's to remove Ringdove noise from geda-user@.


Best regards,

Igor2
