Making EXIT FastAccess your homepage
You have been browsing home pages, including the EXIT homepage. It contains many underlined phrases,
including the one that you just clicked on to get here.(At least, if you
are using a WWW browser such as Netscape or Mosaic the phrases
are underlined.).
If you click on an underlined phrase, you will be taken to a place that
will give you information about that phrase. You will be taken to:
- another place in the page you are viewing, or
- another page in the same WWW site, or
- another WWW site entirely
MOVING WITHIN A HOME PAGE:
You can move around as follows:
- Long pages often have a table of contents at the top. Clicking on one
of them will take you down the page to a specific topic.
- Entering a Ctrl Home (holding the Ctrl key down and pressing
the home key) moves you to the top of the page.
- Entering a Ctrl End moves you to the bottom of the page.
- Pressing the PgUp key moves up one screen full
- Pressing the PgDn key moves down one screen full
- If you click/hold on the little square box at the right of the
screen, you can move the box up and down in order to scan through the page.
- Clicking on the browser's Back key at the top of the screen movesyou
back to the previous page that you previously viewed
- Clicking on the browser's Forward key at the top of the screen
moves you forward to the next page that you previously viewed
