The Spyglass HUD consists of an array of buttons: the small buttons on the left give you access to the Spyglass's
modes of operation, they serve as switches to what will be displayed in the text area above the Spyglass.
From top to bottom, the modes associated with the buttons are: Friends list, Radar, Lookmarks, Teleport history, Bugs,
and Visitors. The two buttons at the bottom open the AO menu and turn on or off the built-in AO, respectively.
The buttons on the right give direct access to Spyglass functions.
