NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System User's Guide

The Globe

In the upper right-hand corner of the NCSA Mosaic screen is a globe superimposed on a stylized S.
NCSA Mosaic S

This attractive icon serves two purposes:

  1. When a hyperlink is activated by clicking on the word or image, the globe spins and beams of light travel along the segments of the S toward the globe. This movement signifies that your document is being retrieved.
  2. You can abort the document retrieval process by clicking on the globe.

    The status line (see ``Status Line'') then displays the message ``Transfer Aborted.'' If part of the file was already retrieved without the inline images, the Document View window contains the new document; click the Back button (see ``Bottom Control Panel'') at the bottom of the window to return to the document containing the hyperlink.
