Very simple:

{
select { object "Sol/Jupiter/Io" }
follow {}
goto { time 5 }
# gotolonglat { time 0 distance 1e11 longitude 0 latitude 0 }
# gotolonglat { time 0 distance 2.5 longitude -122 latitude 47 } # Seattle!
# wait { duration 0.1 }
# orbit { axis [ 0 1 0 ] rate 10 duration 7 }
# goto { time 5 distance 10 }
# wait { duration 5.0 }
}

I've noticed that this will start you right at the planet's surface, I was kinda hoping to have it start up maybe... 20 AU from the planet turned to the side, so it would slowly center the planet then zoom in to a specified distance, latitude, and longitude. Anyone know how to do this?
