At first I agreed with this statement. I had never seen anything written down. Then I watched closely the shows that the local station ran the last couple of nights and what do you know, there were legends on lamps and switches. Those of you who disbelieve should review your tapes of "G7". That's the show where the shuttlecraft gets pulled down onto the planet that is inhabited by 12ft mechanical care-bears. There are two shots near the end where Spocko dumps the shuttlecraft fuel. One or both of them show most of the control panel and every switch or light has some legend above them. Most don't make any sense except for one clearly marked "JETTISON FUEL". It's just a toggle switch, apparently with no safety or anything. Nice thing to put on the front console. Anyway, I realize that this was not on the Enterprise. However, I also saw a shot of a console on the big E in some episode that also had some descriptions. I have forgotten which show now. I think it was either "Court Martial" or "Miri". "Why did they shoot the movies with a white sock over the lens?" "Thank you, Uh Clem." Frank Durda IV @
