Hi, Bill,

I am new to the list but seem to be completely at sea on what
you are describing. I have never been able to find any feature to
label craters or bring out more or less detail on the Moon. I
tried the Alt-. and Alt-; and all it did was bong at me. Is there
an update I don't know about? I am using version 7.

Thanks

Roger
