Opening Files

Using Navigate with an Accent, you can open the following file types:

• HTML Documents
• Text Documents
• AU and AIFF Sounds
• GIF and JPEG Images
• QuickTime Movies

There are several ways to open a file. From the History list, you can open a file which you opened earlier. From the Bookmark list, you can open a file which you have previously marked with a bookmark. You can also retrace the steps of your current Navigate with an Accent session.
