[sdiy] Simple newbie: reading schematics

	Heya folks,

	Quick one.  In the schematic I'm trying to decipher (and in others I've
seen), there's a layout bit that's puzzling me some.  If you hit
http://eastvan.bc.ca/~drew/stories/boss_PC-2.gif (warning, only 80k, but
large!), you'll see that different sections are joined together with a
dotted line, which has a numbered circle for each of the places where it
crosses a circuit.

	What does this line represent?  What are the connections?  For example,
in the upper-left of the image, you'll see the "SENS" pot represented, a
100K Audio pot - this I can wrap my head around easily - but the dotted
line with connections at 18 and 3 confuses me - I mean, I see where it
gets chassis ground, so that isn't what it represents - is it?

	Heh, nothing about this kind of schematic symbolism in any of my
beginners' books. :)

	Thanks in advance for the help...

	Cheers,
	- Drew.
