old style labels?

Hi,

Anyone know how to get the old style labeling?  It looks like sometime in 6.1.4 the change happened.

 To explain.

When I place a label (leHiCreateLabel) it places the text of the label I first placed within the Cadence session (you don't get a choice).  I would like to get back to the old behavior where the little form pops up asking me what the text of the label should be.

 Also if there is a way to re-enable putting spaces into the label that would be great too.

 Thanks,

--lin

    There are two new options in the label form that control this. One is "Keep Label" which remembers the previous label and the other is "Expand" which will create a different label at each space. Turn off expand to get a label with spaces in it. The defaults for these can be added to your .cdsenv:

    layout  labelExpand     boolean nil
    layout  labelKeepLabel  boolean nil
