                              Hyperlink
                              ---------

General:

This item inserts the code necessary to produce a hyperlink to
another HTML document on the internet.  Hyperlinks commonly take the
form of a "sensitive" string of text which is commonly displayed by
browsers in a different style of colour than ordinary text.
 Selecting the sensitive text forces the browser to load in the
document specified by the HTML code.

Syntax:

<A HREF="[Path of link]> [Text] </A>

The string [Path] describes the path of the HTML document to open if
the hyperlink is activated.  The [Text] defines the text which is
"sensitive".

Use:

1 - If not already present, type the "sensitive text" into the
document.
2 - Select that text, and double click on the "Hyperlink" item in
the "Navigation" command list.
3 - Delete the portion of path text, and insert the desired path.

Example:

<P> The <A HREF="http://www.lycos.com"> Lycos </A> WebSearch tool.

will display in the brower window:

    The *Lycos* WebSearch tool.
