+=== 8^GET/KEPS^Obtain the latest AMSAT Keplarian Elements from the web
+There are various ways that one can obtain the AMSAT keps. Traditionally the
+regular method was to get on the mailing list and then arrange for the email
+to be piped into convkeps.pl and arrange from the crontab to run LOAD/KEPS. 
+For various reasons, it was quite easy for one to be silently dropped 
+from this mailing list. 
+
+With the advent of asynchronous (web) connections in DXSpider it is now 
+possible to use this command to get the latest keps direct from the
+AMSAT web site. One can do this from the command line or one can add a line 
+in the local DXSpider crontab file to do periodically (say once a week).
+
+This command will clear out the existing keps and then run LOAD/KEPS 
+for you (but only) after a successful download from the AMSAT website.
