My apologies for all these posts, but there is some vodo magic going
on that might be of interest.

1. With Star Display, Mag. Label Limit = 0, the WDS (current) displays
with lables. (Neve thought I would fool with it this much!)

2. With Star Diaplay, Mag. limit = any +/- value except "0", the WDS
disappears.

Looks like there is a conflict with displaying magnitudes and
displaying WDS names, at least in my version.
