How to interpret this?

I subscribed to fboweb today and began collecting some SWA flight plans so my VA flying might be more realistic to the airline.In doing so I've come across several that look like this:LAS./.CME275059..JCT.CSI1.SATWould someone please tell me what I'm supposed to do with the likes of "CME275059"? I'm ever confused. The CME looks OK to me, but there's a lot of ground between CME and JCT, so I guess the 275059 contains a lot of other information.An amateur in confusion, but at least I'm on the ground. :-)Bob

Hi Bob,CME275059 is an user-defined waypoint, at 275 degrees and 59 miles from CME VOR. :)Kind regards,Koen

Thanks, Koen. I figured various combinations for possibilities, but what now seems obvious (!) didn't occur to me. I suppose the idea of a user defined waypoint on a commercial flight just didn't seem the best of possibilities. :-) Bob
