This section describes some of the important features of the CD user interface. These features include the browser toolbar, the location field, the status message area, and the document button bar. These features make it easy to find your way around the CD contents.
Browser toolbar buttons provide quick access to frequently used menu commands. All buttons on the toolbar are labeled.
The navigation buttons on the toolbar are labeled Back and Forward. You can click on the Back button to move backward through files you have previously viewed, and you can click on the Forward button to move forward through the files again.
You can turn the toolbar on or off through the Options menu.
The location field, which appears below the toolbar, displays the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), or address, of the current file. You can open a file by entering its URL here. URLs are case sensitive and must not begin with a space.
While the CD is transferring information or waiting to receive information, activity is indicated by shooting stars in the Netscape Navigator icon located in the upper right corner of the page.
The status message area, which is located at the bottom of the window, displays the following information:
You use the buttons on the document button bar, which is displayed at the top and bottom of all documents, to navigate through the CD relative to the document that you are currently viewing.
The Home button takes you to the home page for the CD (the first page displayed when you launch the CD).
The Contents button displays the table of contents for the current document. For example, if you are in a chapter of a book, this button will transfer you to the table of contents for that book. If you are in a table of contents, you will be transferred to a higher level table of contents.
The Previous and Next buttons transfer you to the previous or next chapter in the document you are looking at.
The Glossary button links to a glossary of terms and acronyms.
The Search button transfers you to the multidocument search facility of the CD. (See the section "Searching Through Multiple Documents" later in this booklet.)
The Help button displays the context-sensitive help facility for the CD.
