The Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) is one of the few optical telescopes that has full computer control - not only of differential motions (offsetting, scanning, etc.) but also of the more basic operations (slewing, and corrected pointing and tracking). Brief attention is given to the actual hardware, while central consideration is given to a description of the telescope control system as a whole. The various tasks of the control software are described in detail, these tasks being of both the synchronous and asynchronous type. The steps involved in slewing and tracking are described.
