playing with the examples for writing INDI drivers for a telescope and
not sure I understand how KStars sends the messages. I'm starting my
driver externally like indiserver -v -p 7624 myScope, then starting
KStars. I can connect to it from within KStars using Devices / Device
Manager then the Client tab. I can bring up the INDI Control Panel and
manually set the coords, etc. But if I do things like right click on
the map and choose "Center and track", I don't get any messages sent
to my driver. Is this the way it works, or do I have a problem
understanding a INDI driver works?<br>

Center and Track have nothing to do with INDI. Those are instructions
to KStars to center the object in the GUI view and keep it centered as
the clock (the KStars time) changes. No INDI commands are involved.
You can do Center and Track with no INDI server/drivers running.<br>
