Hot List-Keep Track of Interesting Web Pages

GNNpress also allows you to keep a Hot List from session to session. This is a list of Web sites (URLs) that you think you might visit frequently, or that you want to remember and access easily. Unlike the history list, the Hot List is maintained after you finish your session and exit GNNpress.

This list is stored in your GNNpress preference file (navipres.prf), which you create, transparently, when you use the Preferences option under the Tools menu. Deleting this file erases your list.

Add or Open a Page

To add or open a page:

1. Go to that page in the Page Window (enter the URL in the Location field, or if you have visited it already choose it either from the Browse->Global History menu or by scrolling the arrow to the right of the Location field).
2. Choose the menu item Browse->Add To Hot List to add the page to the list. To see the list, choose the menu item Browse->Hot List to invoke the window below.
3. Example of a Hot List
   
4. Double-clicking on any entry in the Hot List brings up that page in the Page Window, or you can single-click on any entry to select it, then click the Fetch button. If no entry is selected, the Fetch button is inactive.

Edit and Format the Hot List

When you add a page to your Hot List, it is entered at the bottom. You can edit the appearance of your Hot List and rearrange the URLs there. The buttons in the Hot List have the following functions. To invoke the identified function, click on the specified button.

Fetch:              As described above, causes the        
                    selected page to be displayed in the

                    you have selected an entry from the

                    appears and asks you for the name of  
                    the label. Type the name in the box
