Install Starlist
Install Starlist is a script that will copy a starlist from the home directory to a starlist directory on /kroot/starlists, and verify that the format of the starlist is readable by sky. If an entry in the list is not in the correct format, you will be asked to invoke one of the available test editors to correct the entry. The observer's name is used to as the directory name. The starlist is required to be in the numbered instrument account's home directory. To start Install Starlists, right click on the desktop to bring up the pulldown menu. Select:
Instrument Unilities --> Install Starlist
This will bring up an exterminal which runs the script (see the example below).
