 C. Notes: WWW = World Wide Web = addresses on the Internet with
    graphics & text. URL = universal record locator = addresses.
    1. Netscape is the graphics viewer of choice (used by about 30% of
       users). In general, there are few graphics at the sites listed
       here, (and they slow down loading)... not to mention very few
       movies or sound tracks.
    2. "Lynx" is a non-graphics text-based www browser at many campuses.
       It can be used with an old PC and a slow modem from home--you get
       the text but not the graphics. Ask your campus compter center how
       to access it. [Try typing LYNX at the main prompt.]
       LYNX COMMANDS in WWW: = press space for next page; Arrow keys: Up
       and Down to move; Right to follow a link; Left to go back.
       O)ther cmds  H)elp  G)oto  P)rint  M)ain screen  Search: /
       o)ptions  Q)uit
        to email yourself a document: P for print, enter username
       to link into a site, type g and carefully type the URL address.
       This address starts with   http://
    3. Netscape has an easy "bookmark" feature that allows you to jump
       to a favorite address. LYNX has this too, but rather more
       complicated. In LYNX, when you have found a site to mark:
       Press A. To mark the page displayed on your screen, press D. To
       mark a specific link on the page, first use the up and down arrow
       keys to highlight it; then press L.

       To use a bookmark, first press v to view your list. Use
       the up and down arrow keys to select a bookmark from the
       list, then press the right arrow or RETURN to go to that
       page.
       The \ key will reveal the "hypertext markup language" (HTML)
       coding that was used to create the www page.
