Do you know how pilots programmed waypoints into their system on the real Hornets?

Also, because it's possibly related, there is a little button in the center console area (not the MFD) where the buttons for A/P, ILS, IFF are, that is right above the ADF toggle.  My res is not high enough to make it out, but it looks like MP or WP.

It's clickable, but I don't see that it does anything.  Does it do anything?

Just want to add my thanks for doing such a good job on the Hornet and for this forum and all your exceptionally helpful responses and tutorials.

The waypoints are most likely already programmed and loaded into the Hornet by a data cartridge like the F-16. In the F-16 its quite easy to change a steerpoints location by using the UFC. You just push 4 then RCL then enter the steerpoints new lat and lon coordinates. I'm not sure if the Hornet has it but the F-16 also allows the VIP, VRP and OA steerpoints to be placed manually through the UFC although that probably can be loaded via DTC cartridge as well IRL but in OF and AF its done manually. For that we use the weapons delivery planer.
