WebSurfer allows you to browse the World Wide Web (WWW). WebSurfer features such advanced features as local cacheing (storage) of retrieved text and images to speed up browsing time, a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Style Scheme for customizing page display, history tracking of pages viewed, hotlists of favorite pages, and comprehensive connection status. The Edit HTML feature also allows you to view HTML source code for any WWW document.
<p>
The WWW is a set of servers on the Internet that contain multimedia hyperlinked documents. Hyperlinking allows you to follow any topic thread by moving from one related document another. The WWW is unique in its use of hypertext along with multimedia such as sound, video, and
graphics.
<p>
The WWW is split into two parts, client and server. The server manages the data and answers requests from the client, while the client application (WebSurfer) allows you to connect to all the servers and gather information.
<p>
NetManage has constructed a page of useful starting points to help you get acquainted with the WWW. We call it the <a href=http://www.netmanage.com/netmanage/nm11.html> Jump Point</a> page.

Information is stored in hierarchical directories. Servers are usually organized by topic or by location.
