APPENDIX I:  LIST OF PROGRAM-WIDE HOTKEYS          

   The following hotkeys can be used at any point in Guide. You can
get this list by hitting the ? key.

   Be aware that almost all of these hotkeys have corresponding menu
options!  All of them,  plus some functions deemed too minor to merit
hotkeys of their own,  can be accessed via the toolbar (see page 32.)
Some people are "keyboard-oriented",  and like having all functions
just a keystroke away.  And if you find that you need to enter a few
dozen ecliptic coordinates,  it may be easier to hit Alt-Comma than
to navigate the menus each time.  But in most cases, you will find it
easier to use the menu options than the hotkeys.
