The Control Bar

To bring up the Control Bar Ð and a selection of programmes and content Ð just pull the mouse down to the bottom centre of the screen. After a couple of seconds, the Control Bar slides up. Use the arrows to scroll the menu and use the video controls beneath the screen to play your selection. 

For Radio and Television pieces, the Play button flashes. For slideshows, the Fast Forward button flashes.
 
The Control Bar enables you to navigate horizontally through the programme, say, from 1920s Radio to 1930s Radio, using ÔNext DecadeÕ. Similarly, go back by clicking ÔLast DecadeÕ. You can also return to the ÔMain Decade ScreenÕ.
To make the Control Bar disappear, move the mouse up the screen.
Wherever you are in the CD-ROM, you can click on the small globe icon, top right of the screen, to return to the main Globe. Then, you can either select another decade as described above, or, by rolling over the BBC logo, you might choose ÔGuideÕ which shows the contents of the CD-ROM, or ÔExitÕ, which enables you to quit the CD-ROM.
