The World-Wide Web Line Mode Browser User Manual
WWW LINE MODE BROWSER USER GUIDE
This document is a short user's guide to the WWW Line Mode Browser.
It has been generated automatically from the online hypertext
documentation, so the considerations "Paper from Hypertext" below
apply.
The Line Mode Browser, called "www", is a program whoch allows you
to access a wealth of information on the global internet. This
document contains details of
How to use www if you have it
How to customize www for your site
How to install www if you don't have it
Technical details of how www works, including protocols and data
formats, are not covered here but in the online documentation and
other printed manuals.
About documents generated from hypertext
Paper manuals generated from hypertext are made for convenience,
for example for reading when one has no computer to turn to. We
have tried to make the hypertext into fairly conventional paper
documents, but they may seem a little strange in some ways.
All the links have been removed. Therefore, it is worth looking at
the table of contents to see what there is in the manual.
Something which is not explained in place may be explained in
detail elsewhere.
We have tried to keep related matter together, but sometimes
necessarily you might have to check the table of contents to find
it.
Please remember that these are for the most part "living
documents". That is, they are constantly changing to reflect
current knowledge. If you see a statement such as "Product xxx does
not support this feature", remember that it was the case when the
document was generated, and may not be the same now. So if in
doubt, check the online version. Of course, the living document may
be out of date too, in which case it is helpful to mail its author.

WWW LINE MODE BROWSER
The World-Wide Web line-mode browser allows you to find information
by following references and/or by using keywords.
References are numbers in [brackets] after particular phrases. Type
the number and RETURN for more information on the phrase.
Some documents are indexes. These contain little text, but allow
you to search for information with keywords. Type "find" or "f"
(space) and the keywords. For example, "f sgml examples" searches
the index for items with keywords SGML and EXAMPLE. You can only
use the "find" command when it is present in the prompt. You can
omit the "f" if the first keyword doesn't conflict with existing
commands .
