[amsat-bb] SatPC32: New Sat Groups into WinAOS

[Kenneth P Alexander]

Making up my own satellite group is exactly what I'm trying to do.
However, the docs don't say I have to work "under the hood" and search my
hard drive and edit configuration files the author has hidden away in order
to accomplish this.

Proper, up to date documentation would solve this problem.

Thanks anyway,

Ken
