R. Wyse reports that the default sign for declination is "minus" in Remark
2.36 (Power PC version).  That is, without an explicit "+" the telescope
slews south of the equator.  I believe that the experiment of pointing the
telescope to some +dec followed by erasing the + sign took the telescope to
the corresponding negative declination.

[JHU Users: Remark 2.35 is still on the observing room Mac.]
