Problems selecting user-added datasets

Bill J Gray Sep 25, 2003

Hi Christian,

"...i like to use the dataset 'LX200 Reference stars', but
when i double click the item in the user dataset list to activate
it, an input box "enter object name" appears."

My guess would be that you've used "Go To... Go To .TDF Object",
instead of "Extras... Toggle User Datasets". Use the latter,
and you ought to have no problem in turning the dataset on.
(You can use the former if you want to find a specific object
within a user-added dataset, but that's not apt to happen
in this case; for these bright stars, it'll usually make
more sense to use "Go To... Star... Common Name".)
