Hi Ted,

Looking at the code, I'm not surprised that it failed. It's another
excellent argument for the use of Unicode, but that chunk of Guide was
written before Unicode got much use.

I suggest downloading this file and putting it into your Guide folder :

http://www.projectpluto.com/objects.nam

replacing an existing file. That will allow Aeria, Danae, etc. to be
recognized by the Go To... Object Name function. (Go To... Asteroid will
not be affected by this). Aëria will still not be recognized by either
function. Something slightly more complicated will be required to fix
that problem.
