[amsat-bb] NOVA and Windows 10

Nova also downloads KEPS files from the internet without needing to
create/edit a file.

In the Nova main window click on 
  Kep. Elements
    Internet Update
       Configure Download

In the configure window that opens:
Fill in 'Download To:' with where you want to store the download
on your local machine. (I just put it on my Desktop)

Fill in Remote URL: www.amsat.org
Remote files: Click on the 'Edit the file list' icon to the
right of the data window.

When the file list opens uncheck all of the existing options
since those files don't seem useful to retrieving amsat keps.

Then you might need to use either Add, or Replace to enter
amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt

Then save the changes with the Nova OK buttons in the layers
of these menus you just negotiated through.

Try the Kep. Elements -> Internet Update -> Start Download

I've found that Nova running in true windows OS fashion may
require to stop/restart the program so don't be surprised.
