I believe the problem is that we have renamed the ports on the 
transistors.  They are now (and in the next release will be) called 
"diff-top" whereas the older version of Electric calls it 
"p-trans-diff-top".  You will have to add "p-trans-" or "n-trans-" in 
front of the transistor port names to get it to work for you.

Once again demonstrating that the Bean Shell is difficult.
