Elite - quick instructions

 The main idea is to fly between planets trading goods and getting sent on
missions eventually. Take a look at each planets profile, take agricultural
things to industrial planets and vice versa.
 There are a whole heap of keys which I can't recall offhand. I think the
function keys change where you are looking out of the ship. U and/or J speeds
up your approach to a planet. To dock at a base you must match it's rotation 
and fly through the hole facing the planet.
