-After you first login
-  - In a unix (xterm) window type "dataserver" and minimize it
-  - in another xterm window, type "galilserver" and minimize it
-  - In yet another, type "fw-gui" and minimize it.  The gui comes up saying "filter in beam", all you need to do is to hit "unload" (This begs the question of the possibility of a filter in the beam and the wheel rotated. we supposedly have safeguards)
-Then:
-  - Click on "READ FILTERS"--> this spins the wheel twice to read and verify filter codes (don't ask why. and i THINK it's still true that there must be 6 good filter codes, ie, 6 filters in the wheel)
-  - Click INITIALIZE --> this spins the wheel once more (again, don't ask why)
-  - Select a filter with radio button. click SELECT and it spins the filter wheel
-  - Put filter in by clicking LOAD
-  - To change filters:
-  * UNLOAD
-  * SELECT
-  * LOAD
-FOCUS button moves focus that number of stepper motor steps. Stepper motor steps are what you enter into ficus routine in CCD GUI.
-NOMINAL PLANE sets differences between focus actuators ABC to stored, magically derived, values.
-SET REFERENCE- stores best focus once you've derived it
-RESTORE FOCUS- sets ABC to what's stored by SET REFERENCE
-POPULATE and POPULATE DONE are for physically installing filters (done by day crew)
-So a normal sequence is:
-  - Load a filter
-  - NOMINAL PLANE
-  - Run Focus sequence on CCD computer
-  - Set best focus and SET REFERENCE
-  - Observe
-  - Restore focus
-  - Observe
-  - Restore focus
-The telescope control software needs to be running for things like ra/dec to be in header.
-The operator has to start things on his computer for guider actions.
