Darn... I have to admit.. I'm not an Elite player indeed ...
(ashamed)
Okay, I guess noone that reads this thread played ELITE as much as I did 
The trick is really simple.
- select a near system
- start the hyperdrive
- press 5 to get the galatic map
- type f and the name of the system you want to go to
- wait for the hyperdrive to engage
You use the fuel from the original jump, but end up at the system from the galactic map!
A picture tells more then words:

sweet!
Do you feel the urge to ask the next question?
Sure.
In what order do you need to use the alpha, beta, gamma and delta keys in the game "Hard Boiled" in order to get the card that opens the beta tunnels?
This one should be less hard
I know this one cause you told me on irc (so it's in my logs somewhere), but I'm only gonna anwer if I verified it myself.
Ok, took me some time to play it (GREAT GAME), but the correct sequence is:
ALPHA
GAMMA
BETA
DELTA
That is correct indeed! You ask the next question?
That is correct indeed! You ask the next question?
