Command Line
This line contains programming commands, including: R.A. and DEC. coordinates, a
title string, a description string and a keyword.

can contain up to 16 characters and must be surrounded by quotation marks. For
example. "M64" or "My Favorite Star."
In Interactive Mode, the title string appears on line 2 until it is selected with the ENTER
key.
In Automatic Mode or after Interactive Mode selection, the title string appears on line
1 while the description scrolls across line 2.
Keywords: Action to be performed during a tour. Autostar recognizes the following
keywords:

Description String: Description of an object. Must be surrounded by quotation
marks. If the description is longer than one line, each line must end with a quotation
mark and a hard return. Begin the next description line with a quotation mark.
If quotation marks are to be displayed in the on-screen description, use two quote
marks at the beginning and end of the desired phrase. For example: "The Orion
Nebula is considered ""awesome"" by many who view it."
Writing a Tour
Using the list of commands listed above, a custom tour can be created. Placing the
word AUTO SELECT before any of the command lines activates Automatic Mode and,
when selected, Autostar automatically searches and finds the designated object.
The following is a list of command lines, complete with keywords and necessary
strings:
TITLE
Title must be the first keyword in your tour after any comment lines and must be 15
characters or less. Autostar displays this title when "Guided Tour" is selected from the
menus.
For example: TITLE "A Star's Life"
TEXT "title string" "description string"
This command allows you to display a text title and description.
USER ra dec "title string" "description string"
This command line allows you to access a specific object with your own description.
Enter USER, then the RA and DEC of a desired object and its title and description.
Use the format described in the Command Line section.
