Netscape in a Very Small Nutshell
In the picture below a number of key or otherwise useful parts of the Netscape user interface (note that many of these are similar in Internet Explorer) are pointed out (from right to left):

  1. The Location Bar: gives the location of the page that you are viewing. To go to a new page, you can simply type a new URL in this space and press "Return".
  2. The Go Menu: is at the top of the screen, and gives a list of the pages that you have recently visited. This lets you easily jump back several pages to a document that you were looking at sometime earlier.
  3. The Reload Button: becomes very important when you're editing and viewing Web pages -- after you have viewed a page, Netscape stores it so that you can look at it again later without having to get it over the Internet! This is great when you're Web surfing, but means that if you want to reload the page you have tell Netscape to do so manually. Also note: Sometimes you'll have to hold the Shift Button at the same time to get it to really reload!
  4. And the Back Button: is very useful for quickly jumping back to the last page you looked at.
