NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System User's Guide

## Status Line

Sandwiched between the document viewing area and the bottom row of control buttons is an area NCSA Mosaic uses to let you know specific information such as the status of your retrieval of a file, the use of an external viewer, and the URL of a linked file.

Figure 2.3 displays a URL in the information line. Notice the hand-shaped icon in the viewing area. This icon indicates that the cursor is resting on a hyperlink.

###### Information line displaying a URL

The Document View window also displays the status of the current retrieval process in the information line, as shown in Figure 2.4.
