The OSSE and BATSE instrument teams on GRO have implemented a system which allows OSSE to slew promptly (within 2 min) to observe burst positions calculated on-board by BATSE. This enables OSSE to make deep searches of burst error boxes for recurrent burst emission and fading or persistent counterparts in hard X-rays and gamma rays. Detections of, or limits on, such emission may severely constrain burst models. We describe the BATSE and OSSE components of the system and compare the on-board positions to the final BATSE positions calculated on the ground. We summarize the bursts which OSSE has observed and present post-burst flux limits for GRB950809 on a number of time scales.
