Using the Internet widget

The Internet widget allows you to jump to a site on the Internet.  You specify the URL (Internet address) by typing it into the text field of the widget.  Launch the jump by clicking the Go! button (on the widget that has that button) or by hitting Return (on the widget that has the combo box).  The Internet widget currently supports the Netscape Navigator and Mosaic web-browsers.
