The World-Wide Web Line Mode Browser User Manual WWW LINE MODE BROWSER USER GUIDE This document is a short user's guide to the WWW Line Mode Browser. It has been generated automatically from the online hypertext documentation, so the considerations "Paper from Hypertext" below apply. The Line Mode Browser, called "www", is a program whoch allows you to access a wealth of information on the global internet. This document contains details of How to use www if you have it How to customize www for your site How to install www if you don't have it Technical details of how www works, including protocols and data formats, are not covered here but in the online documentation and other printed manuals. About documents generated from hypertext Paper manuals generated from hypertext are made for convenience, for example for reading when one has no computer to turn to. We have tried to make the hypertext into fairly conventional paper documents, but they may seem a little strange in some ways. All the links have been removed. Therefore, it is worth looking at the table of contents to see what there is in the manual. Something which is not explained in place may be explained in detail elsewhere. We have tried to keep related matter together, but sometimes necessarily you might have to check the table of contents to find it. Please remember that these are for the most part "living documents". That is, they are constantly changing to reflect current knowledge. If you see a statement such as "Product xxx does not support this feature", remember that it was the case when the document was generated, and may not be the same now. So if in doubt, check the online version. Of course, the living document may be out of date too, in which case it is helpful to mail its author. Tim BL WWW LINE MODE BROWSER The World-Wide Web line-mode browser allows you to find information by following references and/or by using keywords. References are numbers in [brackets] after particular phrases. Type the number and RETURN for more information on the phrase. Some documents are indexes. These contain little text, but allow you to search for information with keywords. Type "find" or "f" (space) and the keywords. For example, "f sgml examples" searches the index for items with keywords SGML and EXAMPLE. You can only use the "find" command when it is present in the prompt. You can omit the "f" if the first keyword doesn't conflict with existing commands .
