World Wide Web

InterNews  gives you easy access to resources on the World Wide Web using the Internet Configuration System. Simply run the InterNet Config program packaged with InterNews to install it. You can also get a copy from one of these locations:

  ftp://ftp.share.com/internet-configuration/
  ftp://redback.cs.uwa.edu.au//Others/Quinn/Config/

When the ICS is installed, you can access resources on the WWW by command-clicking on any URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that appears in any window in InterNews.

An example is:

<ftp://ftp.dartmouth.edu/pub/mac/InterNews_Dev/World/URL_Test.hqx>

You can command-click anywhere on this URL to launch an FTP client to get the test file. Other types of URLs are supported as well. 

If you option-click on a URL, it will be appended to the end of the WorkSpace window. Do this to store URLs of interest.

InterNews  as a Helper App

Internews  can be used as a Helper app for "news" URLs. These are used to locate a newsgroup or a particular article. If you configure the ICS to use InterNews as it's news helper, a command-click on any message ID or reference header line in InterNews will cause it to try to find the appropriate group or article. A special "URL Viewer" subscription will be created to display the URL.

An example is:

<news:misc.misc>
