This section is on
Mice and Menus. Your mouse, depending on what machine you use, usually
has one to three buttons. Your left button, if clicked usually has a menu
pop-up that includes "back" so you can click to your way to your last selection.
When you are at some other web sites you often can use the right button
of your mouse for another menu that allows you to copy or save material. Of course
pressing down usually highlights selected materials. Some of the newer mice have the
ability to move it instead of the scroll bar.
A few words on menus. Your browser has menus
at the top. You can create bookmarks, and a whole directory that
organizes your course, so that you can go to frequent places, such as the Course
Time Schedule. Most browsers have a GO category that stores your
most recent web pages during a session, so you can easily select them. If you do alot of
web work you might want to periodically clear your memory cache under options,
network preferences, so that you can go more quickly. Other menu options include printing
the web pages, or when you are in a hurry, set your options so that the
you are not on autoload. You can then click if you want to see the
pictures/graphics, but you will save downloading time.
