After adding a symbol to schematic, adding wires+netnames, how do I display nets? (Using scripting)

nmz787

I have a Concept Design Entry script (schematics) that I have pasted the beginning of below. I notice that when I open this schematic after running this script with nconcepthdl, that the net names are not displayed. When I right-click the symbol and then click the 'section' menu item and then the 'section' sub-menu item... the net names are shown.

Can someone help me achieve the same effect except purely through scripting?

Beginning of script:

write
hier_write
add <page_border>myPageBorder
(4000 -2500)
add myFavSymbol.sym_1
(-25 -950)
wire AJ1 (200 2000) (200 2000)
wire A29 (200 1850) (200 1850)
wire AJ9 (200 1750) (200 1750)
wire AD3 (200 1650) (200 1650)
wire AD1 (200 1600) (200 1600)
wire V27 (200 1700) (200 1700)

just before the end of the script file:
