I don't use the #:ED# command. I just use #:GR# and #:GD# and HP mode.
This gets the position that is stored for the mount current position and I calculate the Alt/Azm in the program. I use "Put" and "readdata" to get around problems in QB64(Gl) that don't allow some OPEN commands
The other commands used are to enter RA (Sr+HH:MM:SS) and Dec (Sd = sDD:MM:SS) and Goto (#:MS#) and slewing controls from the arrow keys.
Some of the other parameters are read from the scope at program start like location and time offset but not read again.
There are also sub routine features to set location, date ,time etc if required
All other data is read from data files that can be updated if required.
