GRAPHICS	Single Pictures If the graphics are turned off, one may still catch a glimpse of the page's images. To get a peep of the images, click on the *image icon*. Back to top
HOTLINKS	Personal Hotlinks Page Bookmarking is only one of the several ways to maintain hotlinks to your favorite sites.

SECURE	Surfing a Secure site? Here are some of the ways to make certain if you're surfing a secure site. First, check the URL, it's a secure server if it starts with http:// and it uses the Secure Sockets Layer security supported by Netscape. Second, get a glance at the security icon which is a gold key in the bottom left-hand corner of the Navigator's window. It's not a secure site, if the key is broken. If however the key is intact and has a blue background, the accessed site is secured. Also keep an eye on a blue line outlining Navigator's window. Notice intently at that key's teeth because one tooth equals medium-status security and two-teeth equals high-status encryption. Back to top
SPEED	Faster Surfing Middle of a slow traffic or a connection? Get to your destination fast by turning off the graphics for a while. Under *Options, un check* the *Auto Load Images* option. Back to top

COPY	Copy All Instantly To instantly copy all the text of a page, touch Ctrl-A (or with a mouse choose *Edit, Select All) and then Ctrl-C*. The text is instantly in the Clipboard, all set to paste into another application. Back to top
FISHCAM	Speedy FishCam A camera pointed at a fish tank, it's one of the more goofier Web gadget that Netscape's site entertains. To check it out press Ctrl-Alt-F. Back to top
HOME	Your Home Page Netscape's home page is not the only start-up choice. Click on *Options, General Preferences, and Appearance*. You may decide to open on a newsgroup server, a mail screen, a blank screen, or your own URL choice, by simply typing in the address of your choice. Back to top
JAVA	Hot Java With no trouble at all, novice JavaScript authors can smoothly debug single lines of code in Navigator. In the Location box, enter either JAVASCRIPT: or MOCHA: and the debugging windows opens. Be sure to add the colon to the commands. Back to top
