I would like to find the documentation of mel bartels functions for
the guide7 program.
<<<

1. use DOS version of Guide, and call it from scope.exe. Guide
automatically starts with the current pointing position, and upon
exiting Guide, the scope will slew to where Guide was last pointing

2. use Win9x version of Guide, and scope.exe in a DOS window. In
scope.exe, select 'write_slew'. In Guide, select slew guide. Then when
position in Guide located, select slew scope and back in scope.exe,
select read_slew

3. use lx200 emulation of Guide and scope.exe with either a serial null
cable on both serial ports or 2 PCs: run the good pc with Guide and run
the $50 laptop with scope.exe.

4. Guide can also call and execute scope.exe, but this is rather
cumbersome compared to the other methods as scope.exe has a startup
sequence to go through.
