The Toolbar

The icons on the toolbar have the following functions. (From left to right)

Left Arrow, Goes Back to the previously viewed page (if there are any).
House, Go to the page you have set as your Home page (The one Webster starts with when you run it). You can set the Home page from the Main Menu.
Right Arrow, Go forwards to the next page in the History list (Only works when you have been using the Back button, before going to another page)
Circle Arrow, Reload the Current page without re-fetching images.
If you click with Adjust then images will be re-fetched as well.
White Text, View the source of the current page (If it is a Text or HTML format file)
Pyramid Opens the History list. This is a list of the pages you have visited. The length of this list is limited by a Choices option.
Red Text, Open the Main HotList. This can be used to store your favourite pages. Clicking with Adjust opens a list of all available Hotlists, this allows you to open any HotList directly.
Activity Indicator, When moving Webster is decoding a page. It may also be waiting for a fetcher to obtain a page or image.
When it is moving you can click on this to abandon the decoding of the current page.
When an automatic document reload has been specified in the HTML file, you can click on this to cancel the reload.
When grey and not moving, clicking here opens the Goto Window, so you can tell Webster to goto a spefic URLs.
Printer, Print the current page (Not yet implemented)
If you want to print the page, save it in Text or Draw Format and then print that. You will need to adjust the width of the main window and reload the page to get the width to fit in printable area.
Red Text and Cross, When clicked the current page is added to the end of the main hotlist. Clicking with Adjust opens a list of all available Hotlists, this allows you to add to any HotList directly.
Magnifying Glass, Search the Page. When clicked a dialogue is opened that allows you to search the current page for some text. This is currently a simple search as it will not match a string that stretches over the end of a line or over an html tag. This effectively limits searches to single words.
Picture, Load images. When pressed all inline images will be loaded.
When not pressed gaps will be left if the image size is known, otherwise any Alternate text is shown.
When not pressed you can also Click with Adjust to load all the pages images.
Individual Images can be loaded By Clicking on them With Adjust (See the documentation on Menus)
