Avoiding Systems in SEIV

[jparshall]

I've played SEIV for years now, and I've *never* been able to figure out how to designate a system as one to be avoided. The SEIV manual instructions don't seem to correspond to the screens that I see. When I right-click on a system in the minimap that I want to designate as one to be avoided, it brings up the galaxy map. So far, so good. When I click on the Avoid button, though, and then lift-click on the system in question, all it does is bring up the System Notes screen. Blech. It does *not* toggle the system into Avoid mode, and the system does *not* show up as red on the minimap thereafter as I would expect it to. What gives? Can anyone help?

Thanks,
