About WebSurfer...


Overview

WebSurfer is a client application which allows you to browse multimedia information on the World Wide Web (WWW).  WebSurfer displays hypertext documents and supports multimedia such as sound, video, and interactive graphics.

What is Hypertext?

Uniform Resource Locators(URL's)


About the World Wide Web

The WWW is a set of servers on the Internet that are interconnected through hypertext. Hypertext is a method of presenting information where you can expand selected items at any time to provide information about the item.  These selected items are links which allow you to move from document to document and server to server.


WebSurfer Features

WebSurfer includes the following features:

•	Displays formatted documents (electronic text in a variety of fonts, bold and italic, bulleted lists, extended characters sets)

•	Browses hypertext-linked documents

•	Provides and supports links to FTP, Gopher, and Telnet

•	Displays hypermedia documents including interactive graphics, sounds, and movies

•	Lets you create Hotlist folders for organizing documents

•	Lets you instantly access other tools without closing WebSurfer

•	Provides context-sensitive menus using right mouse button

•	Supports caching of information downloaded to your local drive from the Web

•	Tracks the links of your search through the Web, and allows quick backtracking

•	Supports external editors and viewers, such as WEBSpider, NEWTView, and NEWTSound, so you can view text, image, video files, and listen to sound files


What is Hypertext
What is Hypertext?

The Web attempts to organize all the information on the Internet, plus whatever local information you want as a set of hypertext documents that use the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document format.

Hypertext is a method of presenting information where selected words in the text can be expanded at any time to provide other information about the word.  These words are links to other documents, which may be text, files, graphics, or anything.

HTML enables text formatting, embedded pictures, and hypertext links (anchors) to other documents and different locations within documents.  An HTML anchor is a reference to another document or object, or to a place within a document.  These references are made through a standard Universal Resource Locator (URL), which is a text string consisting of the resource type, the Internet address of the machine, and the location of the item on that machine.


About Uniform Resource Locators
About Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)

Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) let you identify where a resource resides anywhere on the Internet by pointing at other Web documents on HTTP servers.  If you know the document’s URL you can point your browser to the document via its URL, though generally you will be navigating via other Web documents and will not need to know the URLs. URLs provide information about resource type, location, and path.

Resource types indicate the type of server on which the document resides.  WebSurfer supports the following resource types:

http:// is the HTTP Server

ftp:// is the FTP Server

file:// is the local HTML file

telnet:// is the Telnet Server

gopher:// is the Gopher Server

For example the NetManage home page document title is NetManage Home Page and its URL is:

http://www.netmanage.com:80/netmanage/index.html

where:

http is the resource type (HTTP Server)

//www.netmanage.com:80 is the resource location

/netmanage/index.html is the pathname and filename


WebSurfer Procedures
How to Use

Using WebSurfer

Using the Hotlist

Caching Documents

Using Short Cut Menus


Using WebSurfer

When you start WebSurfer, the default document window containing the NetManage logo will normally appear.  However, in some case this might not happen as Automatic Internet can download pointers to a new default. To display the NetManage home page, single-click on the NetManage logo.  The interface consists of the document window and the menus and controls surrounding the document.

The Title bar at the top of the window displays the document title.  The Menu bar displays all the menu names, with each menu containing drop down lists of commands.  The Toolbar contains buttons that serve as shortcuts for WebSurfer menu items.

Below the Toolbar is the Dialog bar which displays the URL address of the current document.  As you move the mouse around the document, the Status bar displays the URLs for any anchors or links over which the mouse passes.

A document can contain text and pictures, some of which are hypertext links to other multimedia documents or objects.  The links are highlighted in blue (default).  You can change the document format, that is, how it appears on your screen by using the Style Schemes command from the Settings menu.

To gather information about the document you are currently viewing, choose the Properties command from the Retrieve menu.  The Properties dialog box displays information such as:  title, URL, file type, and the local file where the document is located.

You can browse through the document and single-click using the left mouse button on the highlighted text to link to another document.  WebSurfer downloads and displays the new document, including any graphics that may be a part of it.  To return to the previous page, choose the Back command from the Retrieve menu or the Back toolbar icon.  To return the home page, choose the Home command from the Retrieve menu or the Home toolbar icon.

You can display the Hotlist window by choosing the Show Window command from the Hotlist menu or the Hotlist toolbar icon.  The Hotlist window now appears in the left pane, while the current document appears in the right pane.  You can also drag and drop the URL of an anchor or link to any Hotlist folder by clicking the right mouse button and dragging the anchor to the Hotlist folder.


Opening Documents in WebSurfer

There are two methods of opening documents in WebSurfer:  opening a document through its URL pathname, or opening an existing local .HTM file from the local file system.


Opening Documents using URL Pathnames

While navigating through a Web document, you can open another document by:

•	single-clicking the left mouse button on the highlighted text to link to it.

•	entering a document’s URL pathname by selecting the Go To URL option under the Retrieve menu.

•	entering a document’s URL pathname in the Dialog bar and pressing the Return key.

All three methods will retrieve the selected document from the network or local cache (local drive) and display it for you.


Opening Existing Local HTML Files
Opening Documents using URL Pathnames

You can open existing local .HTM files from your local file system. This is useful if you want to edit your own .HTM files.  Simply select the Open Local File command from the Retrieve menu and select the .HTM file you want to edit.  Then, choose either the Edit HTML command or the View/Play button in the Properties option dialog box to edit the document.  Both options will display the .HTM file in the default text view if the file is a text file.  It will display the file with the default image viewer if it is an image file, and will play the file with the default player if it is a sound or movie file.

After you have edited and saved the file, you can view its changes immediately by selecting the Refresh From Disk command from the Retrieve menu.


Using the Hotlist

The Hotlist contains items (documents) that you find particularly interesting and want to access regularly without having to search for them within the Web.  You can display the Hotlist by choosing the Show Window command from the Hotlist menu, selecting  the Hotlist toolbar icon, or by positioning the mouse cursor on the left hand border of the WebSurfer window and dragging the border to the right.  The Hotlist appears in the left pane of the WebSurfer window, while the selected document is displayed in the right pane.

The Hotlist feature lets you add items, create folders for organizing items, display folder properties, import Mosaic or Netscape hotlist information, and merge existing hotlist items into your current hotlist.


Adding Items to Your Hotlist

You can add items to your Hotlist by choosing the Add Item command from the Hotlist menu. Or,  or by placing the cursor on the highlighted link or image, clicking the right mouse button and dragging it a folder in your Hotlist.


Caching Documents

A major feature that WebSurfer provides is the ability to cache documents or files. Caching keeps a copy of documents that you have opened, in your local cache (local drive).  When you revisit a document, that is, reopen a previously opened document, you do not have to wait while the information downloads all over again from the network.

Overriding Default Caching Behavior


Default Caching Behavior

When you retrieve a document from the Web, it is downloaded directly from the network and automatically placed in your local cache for the current session. If you want to reuse a document you have already retrieved during the current session, WebSurfer will retrieve it for you automatically from your local cache.

However, when you close the current session, all documents in your local cache will not be saved.  If you want to re-visit a document you opened during a previous session, then the document is automatically retrieved from the network and once again placed in your local cache.

Default caching behavior for documents is specified by using the Preferences command (global behavior of all documents) and the Properties command (individual behavior of a specific document).  Note that the settings for the caching behavior of a document in the Properties dialog overrides those set in the Preferences command.


Overriding Default Caching Behavior

There are several ways you can override the default caching behavior of documents:

Choose the Refresh From Network command under the Retrieve menu to automatically refresh a document retrieved from your local cache with its latest version from the network.

To retrieve documents directly from the network and not your local cache, regardless of how many times you re-visit the same document, deselect the Reuse Retrieved Documents Within Session checkbox located on both the Properties and Preferences dialog boxes.  These are documents you are re-visiting in the current session.

To save documents to your local drive between sessions, select the Save Cached Documents Between Sessions option, located on both the Properties and Preferences dialog boxes.  Use this option to retrieve the same document from your local drive between sessions.


Using Short Cut Menus

Instead of using the standard menus to find the command you need, click the right mouse button on an image or empty space in the current document to display short cut menus.  The short cut menus contain several commands such as letting you edit or modify images, add the document to your Hotlist, or directly mail the document to another user.
