Sorry for the delay in responding to you.  I'm afraid I don't monitor the 
ng's like I used to.

I know this is a dumb question, but did you buy a ship before you tried to 
launch?  Your char doesn't start with a basic ship.  You have to spend some 
portion of your starting 50K DC to buy and equip one.  After you have a ship 
assigned to your char (there will be a box around the ship, when you view it 
in the hangar), you should be able to launch.

As for the trade screen.  When you get the basic trade screen which show the 
commodities, hit "enter" before trying anything else.  Then click on the 
right menu choice at the left top.  This will bring you to the buy-sell 
screen.  Type amounts in the space and hit "enter to buy and sell.

Hope this helps.
