NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System User's Guide

## Bottom Control Panel

Nine buttons form the bottom control panel: Back, Forward, Home, Reload, Open..., Save As..., Clone, New Window, and Close Window. The buttons provide shortcut access to items contained within the five pull-down menus.

###### The Bottom Control Panel

If your Document View window is not wide enough, all nine buttons are not displayed. Because the function of each button is also offered in a pull-down menu, no functionality is lost if you open a narrow Document View window. The list below discusses each button and notes the corresponding pull-down menu option.

Back
  Returns to the previous document in the Document View window history (e.g., if you have followed a hyperlink or selected a menu item). No action if you have only viewed one document so far.

  Also available on the Navigate menu.

Forward
  Returns to the document that preceded the current document. Dimmed if you have not moved backward yet. For example, if you moved from Document A to Document B and returned to Document A with Back, Forward brings up Document B again.

  Also available on the Navigate menu.

Home
  Moves to your home document or home page. Default home document is the NCSA Mosaic Home Page.

  Also available on the Navigate menu.

Reload
  Reloads the current document from the server, thus displaying any file changes made and saved since the last loading. (This is particularly useful if you are refining a document file.)

  Also available on the File menu as Reload Current.

Open...
  Opens the Open Document window to enter the URL for a file to be viewed. See ``The URL Format'' and the NCSA Mosaic Help menu (On URLs).

  Also available on the File menu as Open URL....

Save As...
  Opens the Save Document window that lets you save the current document to your local system in one of four different formats.

  Also available on the File menu.

Clone
  Opens a duplicate of the window being viewed. This is a useful choice if you want to keep a window open for reference but also want to select another hyperlink or open another file.

  Also available on the File menu as Clone Window.

New Window
  Opens a new Document View window. The content of the new window is your default home page. There is no limit on the number of windows you can open.

  Also available on the File menu.

Close Window
  Closes the current Document View window. If you only have one window open, the entire application exits.

  Also available on the File menu.
