Fast E-mail Address
If you want to send an email while surfing, you don't need to open your email program. Just type in mailto: without the quotes in the browser location box, where a Web site URL normally goes. Follow it, without spacing, with the email address of your intended recipient. Touch Enter and an email composition window will open with the email already addressed for you.

A Way to Remove Long Recipient Lists in E-mail
To remove long recipient lists from messages that have been forwarded many times (or that may have been sent to dozens of people at once by a single sender), select the text of the original e-mail. Right-click and Copy the text. Click New Message and Paste the copied text to the new message. Address and send to those with whom you wanted to share the 'clean' copy.

Adding Bookmarks In Netscape
An easy way to add a bookmark in Netscape is to drag the URL from the Web page to the blue Bookmark Quickfile button. To do this, use the mouse to grab the icon (green ribbon) just to the left of the address bar to the Bookmarks button. Hold the mouse button down until the Bookmarks menu opens. Drag the URL to the folder you want it to reside in, and then release the mouse button.

Search A Page In Netscape
Suppose you just searched the Internet and there you are on the site recommended by the search engine. But, where is the information you want? It's there somewhere. To locate your information in that long Web page, go to the top of the page and then press Ctrl + F. Now, type a keyword into the "Find what" entry box and press Enter.

Quick Shortcut to Any Internet Page
You can easily create a shortcut on your desktop while surfing. Right click on any Internet page and select Create Shortcut. Click OK on the dialog box that comes up. A shortcut to the page will appear on your desktop.

Saving E-mail to a Floppy Disk
If you are using Netscape Mail:
1. While viewing the e-mail that you want to save, click on File, go to Save As and then click on File in the sub-menu.
2. In the Save in field, click the drop down list, and select 3 1/2 floppy A:
3. Under File name, type a name for the e-mail message.
4. Then click Save.
This will save the message as a text file that can be read in any word processor.

Searching The Web
There are some standard search engine procedures that you can use to enhance your Web searches. For example, if you search for "chocolate cake" (using no quote marks in the search box) you'll probably get pages that refer to "chocolate" and "cake" and "chocolate cake." However, if you enclose the search words in quotes--as in "chocolate cake"--you'll get mostly responses that refer only to chocolate cake.

Full Screen View In Microsoft Internet Explorer
If you are viewing pages in Internet Explorer, you can use the full screen view to see the whole page without any unnecessary menus in the way. To change to full screen view, choose View, Full Screen or you can press F11. F11 is a toggle key, so pressing F11 again will return you to the standard view.

Scrolling In Microsoft Internet Explorer
Although there are a number of ways to scroll through a Web page in Microsoft Internet Explorer (Page Down, Page Up, use the mouse, etc.), one of the easiest is to simply press the Spacebar. Pressing the Spacebar scrolls down a page. If you need to scroll up a page, press Shift + Spacebar. The Spacebar will also scroll down in Netscape, but Shift + Spacebar will not work to scroll back.
