From "The Wrath Of Khan", by Vonda N. McIntyre (without permission).

Page 215:

	"Saavik armed the torpedo guidence control with the
     course she had so carefully worked out, and moved
     forward."

I would interpet this to mean the she re-programmed to guidence system.  There
is also a previous passage on Page 214:

         "... She bid a final farewell to her teacher and to her
         student, then left the statis room.  She had man duties
         to take care of, duties to the ship and to Mr. Spock."
                                             ----------------- 
which may indicate the she altered the guidence system.

The book is very good; I recommend that you read it if you've seen the movie
because you'll get a more complete understanding of what's going on.
