Hello Ivy,
I am still try to figure out all the functions also.  Such as the use of
the SECONDARY tracking station and the TARGET (not PRIMARY) satellite.
While the primary satellite is the only 'bird' that has it detailed
tracking data displayed, you can get the other configured 'birds'
displayed real-time on the various graphic maps.
Try setting the following option:
From the main menu press:
         F10    Set STSORBIT PLUS Program Options and Features
then select:
         F3             Select Display Features
then toggle F2 to the option of 'BOTH' like shown:
                              Program STSORBIT PLUS
                  Space Shuttle and Satellite Orbit Simulation
                                   Version 9736
                   Current time:  09:33:47 EST   14:33:47 UTC
                   Current date:   06 DEC 1997    06 DEC 1997
         F1     21x21   Select Satellite Icon Size: 15/21 pixels
         F2     BOTH    Display TDRS and Real Time Satellites
         F3     ON      Display Additional Map Grid Lines
         F4     OFF     Display Tracking Stations
         F5     BOTH    Display Ground Track: DOTS/LINE
         F6     BOTH    Display Local/Satellite Circles of Visibility
         F7     ON      Display South Atlantic Anomaly Zone
         F8     ON      Display Terminator, SUN, and Spacecraft Lighting
         F9     ON      Display Map Locations and Features
         F10    ON      Display Lakes and Rivers
Send me e-mail if this is not what you are asking to do.  The software
author has e-mail and WWW page that is list in the docs that might be
helpful.
Now if I could just have every hooked up and turn on for the good
passes.  :-)
