Migrating to FreeFlyer 6.0

While we always strive to maintain 100% backwards compatibility in our new releases, our efforts to make FreeFlyer scripting more flexible and consistent in FreeFlyer 6.0 and higher have necessitated a few changes which may require user intervention when migrating your existing Mission Plans. These changes are outlined below.
