I'm new to using FMS's and I've been trying to do as much reading as I can but can't seem to find the answer to this question.  In the JS L-1011 I load a saved flight plan and then what do I do?  I mean it shows up, I can see the legs, I also see an "ACTIVAT" in the lower right of the screen.  Is this to activate the flight plan?  I am assuming so.  But if I hit this button to activate the autopilot does not steer to the course for the first waypoint.  If I then hit EXEC the FMS skips to the second waypoint.  I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong and apparently have not found the correct instructions to follow.

Also, how do you reinitialize the FMC once a flight plan has been loaded.  There should be a way to clear out the data to load another flight plan without having to reset the flight.
