I mentioned 4 lines, but did not suggest 4 line elsets!

Rick said he needed RCS for sorting, and I suggested temporarily
adding the fourth line for sort data, then removing this during
sort final output.

For semi-permanent object data I prefer a reference data file that
is maintained independently of elsets, and used by programs for
selecting objects, computing magnitudes,....

This should also include one or more "flag characters" a la Quicksat,
so users can affix their own classifications/priorities to objects,
rather than repeating this info on every elset file.
