Positions & Magnitudes

Hi Randy,

Guide has outsmarted itself here. I added some code that causes
Guide to look for the actual dataset before putting it into the "Extras...
Toggle User Datasets" list. If you've not created a few user objects
yet, then user_obj.dat doesn't exist yet. And if it doesn't exist yet,
Guide looks at user_obj.tdf, says, "How can I display this? The data
doesn't even exist!", and skips right over it.

So... go into "User Objects", add one or two, and _then_ look
in "Extras... Toggle User Datasets".

Eric pointed out (via private e-mail) that things such as "Shift-right
click", "Alt-left click", and so on, are currently not used at all in
Guide. A "Shift-right-click to drop a symbol" function may be in
Guide's future. (Along with, perhaps, "Alt-right-click to slew the
telescope here... Ctrl-right click to get 'more info' on this object,
skipping the 'short info' dialog.")
