You can change the worlds under consideration by typing a pair
of planet-specs or economy types (as printed by `elite-find').
- Any planet-specs are obviously taken relative to GALAXY.

The SORT parameter may be one of `min', `max', or `avg' to sort
by minimum, maximum or average profit (highest at the top).
