There is no limit to the number of links you can follow, but you may not enter your own locations. =============================================================================== HANDWEB OVERVIEW =============================================================================== HandWeb is an amazingly powerful Web browser that lets you use your PalmPilot Professional organizer or IBM WorkPad to search and surf the Internet just as you would from a full-sized desktop computer. You’ll be able to keep up with news services, the stock market, weather reports, or even connect to your own company's Intranet easily wherever you go. HandWeb displays the text contents of World Wide Web pages regardless of their graphical appearance. Just point and click your way to new sites, add bookmarks of your favorite pages, and even save entire Web pages for off-line browsing or as Memo Pad documents. HandWeb features: * For PalmPilot Professional connected organizers, IBM WorkPad PC Companions and compatibles * Connects right to the Web through your regular Internet Service Provider * Supports search engines, pages with fill-in forms, and more * Lets you organize bookmarks in customizable folders * Stores Web pages for off-line browsing or as Memo Pad documents * Offers complete navigation buttons * Includes Cache and History features for fast access to recent pages * May also be used through firewalls or proxy servers (not required) * Downloads new applications, documents, and databases directly into your PalmPilot or WorkPad Note: We apologize, but at this time HandWeb still does not support frames. =============================================================================== CONTENTS OF THIS PACKAGE =============================================================================== HWeb110D.prc The HandWeb application that you will install on your PalmPilot.
