How to Use Your Browser

Basics
Your browser window works the same as a window in a program. You can open or close in, resize it or move it around the screen.

You can even run other programs while it is open, provided you have enough memory. It is even possible to open more than one window, by selecting "New" from the File Menu. This allows you to search on two separate topics, without loosing your results.

When you are visiting a page on DowFriends, you'll notice that links are in blue. Once you've visited that link, it will turn gray to indicate that you've been there.

Back and Forward
The back and forward buttons are found in the top left side of your browser. Arrows indicate that you can go Back, or Forward to a web page you had previously visited.

Stop
This button allows you to stop loading a page. Some pages take a long time to load, and you may wish to Stop. This tool is also useful if you've clicked on a link by accident and wish to stop it from loading.

Search
By selecting the Search button from your browser, you'll be taken to a page that will allow you to search the Web. You can enter a word or phrase and then select search or go. A list of possible matches with links should appear. If you are given a message that says there were no matches, try a more general term.

Print
You can print a current web page by selecting Print from the browser.
