Horizons Telnet users might find this handy...

Hey there horizons telnet users... 8)

Are you sick of having to constantly set the table defaults when getting xyz vectors?

Do you hate having to enter "change table defaults" > "J2000, 1, 3, yes, no, 1" every time you login?

Well heres a simple solution:

At the Horizons> prompt, just enter

Code: Select all

LOAD {CELESTIA-XYZ}

and these will be automatically set for you!

I set it up ages ago, but i thought it might be handy for other people to know too...

Btw you need a password to change the settings (duh..) so you can't screw around with it- i'll do that for you...

To save your own custom settings, just go through the prompts once the way you want, and then do

Code: Select all

SAVE {-YOURNAME-}
where -yourname- is a name for your settings... then you have to invent a password.

Hope you find this useful!
