Is there anywhere in the game instructions where it actually says to right
click on a nav point to select it?  I can't find the instructions for
Prophecy, but the instructions for WC4 don't seem to mention the right
click. :-P  Also for some reason, the selected nav isn't highlighted when I
switch. :-7

The right-click method was introduced (along with the targetable
navmap ships) with Prophecy.  It wasn't, however, documented in the
WCP manual.

Glad I checked the CIC.  Dunno what happened to my manual anyway!  WCP is
still a great game - even if I never figured out some of the finer points!
That mission was annoying me because I couldn't figure out how to fly the
assist.  I just flew another, where my score dropped because I wasn't
stopping my wingmen from getting shot at.  It didn't help that the game
stopped reading the TAB key, so my afterburners stopped functioning.  Think
I'll have to configure a joystick key for afterburners.
