== General advice about using KRC on Comets ==
 
 
When using KRC on Europa the best practice is to:
 
::*For KRC Davinci Interface, use "comet" as the bodytype
 
::*For KRC Davinci interface, use quotation marks around the bodytype and body parameter (See Command Line Example Below)
 
::*For additional help see the [http://krc.mars.asu.edu/index.php?title=Advanced_Tutorial#Comets Comets section of the advanced tutorial]
