MTrack by Jonathan Naylor HB9DRD/G4KLX.

This is the Main Help File for version 0.2.3 -- 24 November 2000 by N0NB

mtrack is composed of three major areas in its window.  Most prominent is
the map screen (default is the entire world on initial mtrack invocation)
on which you see the major land masses including major political boundaries.

Above the map is the menu bar (which you probably found to get this far :) )
from which you can customize the program for such things as which satellite to
view, your station's geographical location, color preferences, satellite
additions and updates, and even generate a text printout of satellite
visibility.  The menu selections are as follows:

File
	New		   Select a satellite to display
        Tracking Table	   Generates a text tracking table
        		   for the selected satellite
        Updated Elements   ?
        Visibility	   Generates a table showing the
        		   current azimuth and elevation
                           for each location in /var/mtrack/locfile
        Exit		   Shutdown mtrack
Edit

                Delete	   Remove a satellite's elements
		Modify	   Change individual paramters of

                	   various satellite elements?
                           
Below the map is a window with various information regarding the satellite
selected for tracking.

Select the Help button in this window or "Help|Contents and Index" from the
main menu to learn more about the specific features of mtrack.

Enjoy!
