Using Internet Explorer
The Internet Explorer display is divided into five regions. From top to bottom they are: a row of pull-down menus, the toolbar, the Address line, the html viewer, and the Status Bar.
To go to a known site, enter the address on Address line. Most web addresses have an implied http:// as a prefix (e.g., http://www.yahoo.com); this may be omitted though (www.yahoo.com). Images and text which are highlighted or underscored are links to other websites (these links are called hyperlinks). To move through a hyperlink, you click on the image or text. If you click on the word Address on the Address line, it will toggle between an entry field and a list of buttons that link to homepages on Microsoft's system
When Internet Explorer is downloading (i.e. retrieving a homepage or a file), a comet will fly around the letter 'e' located in upper right corner. Also the Status Bar at bottom will indicate percentage of downloading that is complete. The Status Bar may be hidden by removing checkmark at View >> Status Bar.
The toolbar is the strip of buttons starting on left with a 'Back' arrow and ending on right with a 'Mail' button. All the buttons on toolbar have an equivalent in a pull-down menu. To hide the toolbar, remove checkmark from View >> Toolbar.
