- HyperRez: Right/Left arrow <sum02 1 8>
- ==========================
-
- The Right arrow, which executes highlighted hypertext jumps,
- expands displayed details. The Left arrow, which returns to
- previously selected jumps, collapses details.
-
- To help users systematically explore a body of knowledge, HyperRez
- remembers each of the previous screens along with the associated
- highlighted jump. This automatic "bookmark" <link35 1 13>
- capability is limited to hypertext jumps of 64 levels deep.
-
- Hypertext systems should include the following properties:
- Key
- Points (1) work without knowledge of the search goal <link32>
- ====== (2) work without knowledge of the subject <link33>
- (3) work without knowledge of the access technology <link34>
-
- The HyperRez command interfaces (mostly Up/Dn/Right/Left keys)
- aid these three requirements. Success with points (1) and (2)
- depend on rapid responses to a selected command. Point (3)
- depends on matching operating keystrokes to user-intuitive actions.
- And???
- ====== Point (4) - the developer must make all jumps predictable. <link53>
