The Internet is a network that connects thousands of computers around the world. The Internet provides many services, including electronic mail, newsgroups, and the World Wide Web.
Mosaic is specifically designed to view documents on the World Wide Web. Most documents on the World Wide Web include hyperlinks to related documents. Mosaic allows you to move from one document to another by simply clicking these links.
Every document on the Internet has its own address, called a uniform resource locator (URL). The URL for this document, for example, appears in the URL field at the top of this window.
If you know the address of what you want to view, choose Open URL from the File menu, type the address, and click OK.
If you are new to the Internet and need a good place to start, see the list of suggested starting points.
If you are looking for information on a specific topic, try using an Internet search tool.
When you find something interesting, you can add it to your hotlist so that you can find it again later.
You can use the Back and Forward buttons to move between documents you have viewed. To see a list of the last several documents you have viewed, display the history list. To view one of the documents again, select it from the list.
If you ever feel lost, simply choose Home from the Navigate menu to go back to your own home page.
