NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System User's Guide

## Options Menu

The Options menu lets you control some aspects of document display. If you do not use the default settings, you must reset your preferences each time you open a NCSA Mosaic session. You can also configure these options using X resources (see ``System Configuration and Modification Assistance' for additional information).

The items on this menu have toggle buttons to the left of each menu item. The square toggle indicates the toggle is off. The yellow toggle indicates it is on.

Fancy Selections
  With this toggle activated, selections made with the XWindow System's cut and paste mechanism preserves as much formatting (e.g., headers, tabs) as possible.
Load to Local Disk
  With this toggle switch activated, the Save Binary File to Local Disk window opens as a hyperlink is activated for you to enter a filename and directory to save the current file. File is not displayed; it is copied to your local disk.
Delay Image Loading
  With this toggle activated, inlined images are not loaded until requested, thereby increasing the speed of a document's display. In the place of each image is an icon, which is a hyperlink to the inlined image:
Load Images in Current
  Loads the inlined images in the current document. Use this menu option if you have requested NCSA Mosaic delay image loading.
Reload Config Files
  Causes mailcaps and extension maps to be reloaded on the fly. See ``System Configuration and Modification Assistance'' for additional information on multimedia and external viewers.
Flush Image Cache
  Clears cached images, reclaiming memory.
Clear Global History...
  Clears all entries in the Window History window for this and previous sessions. The image cache is also cleared. The global history file is by default named .mosaic-global-history and is a dot file in your home directory.

  Clearing the global history file changes the on-screen depiction of all previously viewed hyperlinks from viewed to unviewed.

Fonts
  Opens a submenu with 3 options for each of four fonts: Times, Helvetica, New Century, and Lucida Bright.
Anchor Underlines
  Opens a submenu with the choices for hyperlink display: default underlines; light, medium, or heavy underlines; or no underlines at all (color only identifies the hyperlinks).

NOTE: Font and anchor underline choices are inherited by all new windows opened. You can change an individual window's display as desired.
