Comment 1 Lauri Watts 2005-08-15 13:38:22 UTC
SVN commit 449389 by lauri:

Fix some typos and correct some menu locations, per bug report

Note: Not changing the semi-colons (they are correct) or the mention of JNOW 
(which seems to be something technical relating to telescope hardware) - it could 
bear some explanation though
