To use a source list, go to the 'GO_LITE' window, and click on the "GO TABLES" button.

Type the full path and name of the observing table you wish to use, in the top line of the window that pops up.

Push the "Load" button.

A line should show up at the bottom of the window that states "Table 'your file' OK

If you get an error instead, you need to fix your table

Assuming your table was read fine, you now need to swipe (highlight) with the mouse the two lines in your file which describe your header, and then hit "run". In the above example file, the lines to highlight are:

header \
 sc.source_name    ra             dec      ant.coordinatemode

To enter the name and coordinates of your source, just highlight the line containing your source, and hit "run".
