NAME
  [0] orbit -- Graphic representation of objects in current scope

SYNOPSIS
       orbit [-n] [-S] [-p] [-s] [-ship/planet number] [path]

DESCRIPTION

  Orbit gives a visual map of all stars, planets, and ships in the scope
of ``path'' or the current scope if none is specified.  You cannot map an
area that has not been visited by one of your ships.

  If ``path'' is the root, ``orbit'' will show all the stars in the game,
and all ships travelling in interstellar space that belong to the player.

  If ``path'' is a star, orbit will display the solar system there
with its star in the center and orbiting planets around it, plus all ships
that are the player's (or can be detected).

  If ``path'' is a planet orbit will display that planet and orbiting
ships.

  If ``path'' is in the form ``#shipnum'' orbit will display a map of 
whichever system or planet the ship is at.

  If no path has been specified, the current scope is used, and display will
be centered around the current ``lastx,lasty'' coordinates.  These coordinates
represent the x,y location of the last scope the player was in.  For instance,
if a player types the following:

 [xx] / >cs #5/..
 [yy] / Sol / Sol-III >orbit

  The orbit display will be centered around the location of ship #5.

  When no path is specified, the zoom factor comes into play as well.  Display
will appear larger or smaller according to the zoom factor (1.0 being normal).
If there is a specified path argument to orbit, zoom and last coordinates are
not dealt with.  (It is as if they are 0,0 and 1.0, respectively.)


  OPTIONS

  when invoking ``orbit'' the options given (except for ``-(number)'') can be 
either in the form "-pSs" or spread out as in "-p -S -s -3".


  -p : If this option is set, ``orbit'' will not display planet names.

  -S : Do not display star names.

  -s : Do not display ships.

  -(number) : Do not display that #'d ship or planet (should it obstruct
		the view of another object).  Stars or planets are numbered
		sequentially from 1, while ships can be referenced by their
		ship number.
