+The purpose of the Observing List Tool is to provide convenient 
+access to some common functions for a list of objects chosen by 
+you.  Objects are added to the list by using the <quote>Add to 
+List</quote> action in the <link linkend="popup-menu">popup 
+menu</link>, or by simply pressing the <keycap>O</keycap> key 
+to add the currently-selected object.
+</para>
+<para>
+Objects in the list can be sorted by any of the data columns 
+(Name, Right Ascension, Declination, Magnitude, and Type).  
+To perform an action on an object, highlight it in the list, 
+and then press one of the Action buttons at the top of the 
+window.  Some actions can be performed while multiple objects 
+are selected; others only operate when one object is selected.
+The available actions are:
+
+<variablelist>

+<term>Center</term>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+Center the display on the selected object, and begin Tracking 
+it.

+The Observing List tool is a new feature and is still under 
+development.  We are planning to add more features, such as 
+adding objects to the list by selecting a region in the sky, and 
+the ability to save observing lists to disk.
