OH....one more thing:
When I added TWO objects, 2010 GA6 and 2010 GB6, they both actually were ENTERED into the
comets.dat list. I just opened up the new listing in Guide and both are showing there. I
can pull them up on Guide.
So....Guide is allowing the entries, but it shuts the program down after it does so.

Irritating, but I possibly can live with this....I thought this might help.
