    If I leave some item out, that you don't figure yourself, I'll send a sample.
    
    On F2 menu, set F3=90 (or -90), F4=180, F5=-6365k.
    (You can save this site as N.Hemisphere or whatever,
    and/or the final .cfg as N_Hemi)
    
    On F4,  F9=Show, F10=On, V=Inverse  are crucial! Also F4/L must 
    contain world.pnt, and this file must be in the current folder, or the 
    Main menu/D directory. Set F4/F2 to map centre WEST longitude and 
    latitude, F4/F3 and F4/F4 as desired. You may want to hide star 
    labels, or reduce the magnitude.
    
    On F7, set F7=Horizon (crucial)!
    On F7/F9 Set F7 at least 0, 6378+perigee, F8, F9 as -89.9.
    On F7/L  F3=No constraint. If you have F1 as Sunlit, set F5 as
    appropriate for 6500+ km range!
    
    You may also want F1/F8 = 0,1 or whatever, to show only bright stars.
