- The Internet is a network that connects thousands of computers
- around the world. The Internet provides many services, including
- <A HREF="mail.htm"><I>electronic mail</I></A> and the World Wide Web.
- <P>
- Microsoft Internet Explorer is specifically designed to view <I>pages</I>
- on the World Wide Web. Most Web pages include <I>hyperlinks</I> to related pages.
- By clicking hyperlinks, you can quickly move from one page to another to get more
- information and navigate through text based on what interests you.
- <P>
- Every page on the Internet has its own address, called a <I>Uniform
- Resource Locator</I> (<A HREF="url.htm#TOP">URL</A>).
- If you know the address of what you want to view, type it in the Address box at the top of the window. Or choose Open
- from the File menu, type the address, and then choose OK.
- <P>
- When you find something interesting, you can add it to your <A HREF="hotlist.htm">Favorites
- list</A> so that you can find it again later.
- <P>
- You can use the Back and Forward buttons to move between pages
- you have viewed. To see a list of the last several pages you have
- viewed, display the <A HREF="history.htm">History list</A>. To
- view one of the pages again, choose it from the list.
- <P>
- If you ever feel lost, just choose <A HREF="home.htm">Start Page</A> from the Go menu
- to go back to your own start page.
