NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System User's Guide
The Navigate menu helps move you around the Web. Like a trip
log, options in this menu keep track of where you've been and let you
retrace your steps.
This menu has several ways to move you quickly to Web documents: Window
History, Hotlist, Internet Starting Points, and
Internet Resources Meta-Index.
- Back
- Returns to the previous document in the Document View window history
(e.g., if you followed a hyperlink or selected a menu item). No
action if you have viewed only one document in this window.
If you moved using an anchor within a document, selecting Back
returns you to the location of the initial hyperlink.
Same as Back on the Document View bottom control panel.
- Forward
- Moves to the Document View window that preceded the current window.
For example, if you moved from Document A to Document B and returned
to Document A, Forward brings up Document B again. Not active
if you have viewed only one document.
Same as Forward on the Document View bottom control panel.
- Home Document
- Moves to your designated home document. Default is the NCSA Mosaic
Home Page. See
``System Configuration and Modification Assistance''
for information on changing your home page.
Same as Home on the Document View bottom control panel.
- Window History...
- Displays the Window History window, showing Where you've been,
which shows each document viewed since opening the NCSA Mosaic
session. The current document is highlighted. Return to any document
in the list by selecting and clicking.
- Hotlist...
- Displays the Hotlist View window where you can add or delete documents
from your hotlist, a personalized online reference of
important documents. A hotlist is especially useful for documents
you use regularly. To view a document again, select it and click
on Go To.
- Add Current to Hotlist
- Adds the current document to your hotlist (see above).
- Internet Starting Points
- Opens a document containing hyperlinks to many common Internet-based
information resources. The hyperlinks in this document may be modified
at NCSA as new resources become available.
- Internet Resources Meta-Index
- Opens a document containing hyperlinks to various resource directories
and indices available on the Internet.
