Thanks for the tips. Hitting "L" again disabled the scope from target. I will keep at it. I'm playing SH4 1.0 version. Are "downloads" and "mods" safe to use? I'm not to savvy on undoing any damage I cause on my computer.
I just purchased Sid Meier's Pirate's through this website with Amazon, hoping to help generate some revenue for Subsim, and what a nightmare that game is. My wife and I have spent 2 days trying to get it to work. Even the download to "repair" the flaws in game come up with an error message.
Thanks again for your help and I'll look into the V 1.4 download. What does this do to the game?

After reading your post, Magic452, I just purchased SH4 Gold Edition. Maybe this version will will have a better "feel" for playing this game. I'm hooked!
