Bookmarks menu:
Click this button to add, view or edit your bookmarks. These are shortcuts

Location bar: This bar
contains the Universal Resource Locator (URL) of the site that is
currently loaded. If you have a URL of a site you would like to visit,
simply type it on this line, then hit [ENTER] to go to that page. NOTE:
URL's are case sensitive.
Search Engine: A search
engine combs the internet to find information for you. This is convenient
if you don't have the exact URL of a site, or are looking for more
information on a certain topic. Each engine has different type abilities
and preferences, so different engines will bring in different sites, even
with the same keywords entered. SRCaccess.net has many of the most common search
engines available on our site.
Keyword field: This is
where you type in the main words that you would like the Search Engine to
find. It is not case sensitive. Try to be as specific as possible, without
using too many keywords. Once you have selected your engine at and entered
your keywords, hit [ENTER] or click Search. For more information on how to
use a Search Engine, go to http://support.wcc.net/tips.html.
Links: As you move through different sites on the internet, you
will come across several links (usually an underlined section of text). A
link is most easily recognized by the change in your mouse pointer. It
will change from when it is on normal text, to
when it is over a linked section of text or graphic. Click one time when
you have to follow the link to the next page or site.
Navigator icon: Click here to open a Navigator window, if you don't
already have one open, or to move back to the first open Navigator
screen.
Messenger icon: Click
here to open the Netscape mailbox. Be careful to only click once, or it
will try to open your mail twice, which locks you out for 15 minutes. See
the next
section for more information on Netscape Messenger.
Discussion
Groups icon: Click here to open a windows for the News Groups
messages. Usenet News is the equivalent of a discussion group or "bulletin
board system" (BBS). With Usenet News you can keep track of the latest
gossip about your favorite TV sitcom, discuss your sports heros with other
fans or find out what printer you should buy for your home PC. Newsgroups
cover every imaginable topic (and some you can't imagine) -- some will
help you with your work and others are simply for entertainment.
Address
Book icon: Click here to open your Personal Address Book. You can add
a new address card, a new list of addresses, edit the current information,
or even start a new message.
