[APBeta] Current ASCOM Support?

What you need to do (and this is something I have on my shortlist to make make obvious) is _select_ the ASCOM line in the Mount parameters dialog. This makes a configuration button appear. Click that and you'll be shown the ASCOM chooser, from whence you can select the POTH, etc.
