If you assign a number to the component (eg U16, ie. other than the default
'U?') when you are placing the part (to change this use the <TAB> key when
the part is 'attached' to the cursor), then Protel automatically increments
through the parts of that particular component.  eg. U16:a, U16:b,
U16:c,U16:d, then U17:a, U17:b, etc (for a 4 gate part in this example.)

I normally place the entire component's gates in a heap in some spare space
on the schematic (assuming I have some that is!) and move them to where
they're required.  This way I know that the component is presented in it's
entirity and I can deal with any unused gates in an appropriate manner with
pull-ups etc.
