I assume you are talking about PLD development. You can use a text editor to design PLDs - the language is CUPL-based. However, I do not recall seeing anything on mixing Sch and text based entry on one PLD design. I have only done some quite simple text based state machine designs targetting that massively complex device, 16V8, on Protel. Usually use other tools. In the SPICE-based simulator there is a .NSX text frame that allows SPICE statements to be included with the Sch, but I do not know of anything similar for PLD. Going the other way (adding a Sch sheet to a text based design) - unless there is something in the documentation that I missed on a quick read then the only method would be to compile the sheet and grab the equations and paste into the text based design. Messy but you may find useful in avoiding some subtle errors. Have you asked Protel Support? They should be able to tell you straight away. I have been getting responses to simple emails quite quickly recently - these have been pretty much bug reports though. More difficult questions on the SDK seem to have gone to ground...(but that maybe due to the rather aggravated tone of the email as I was very peeved at the time - the SDK does that to me.)
