INTRODUCTION TO LYNX

If you type, once you have logged on our Unix system:

	 lynx

you will access the first page of "Nova-links Internet access". You may 
find interesting to explore this Nova campus-wide information system.

a) Each document is an Hypertext document, with "hot" buttons, highlighted 
   on the screen.

   You can go from button to button, using the up arrow (to move to the 
   button above), or the down arrow (to move to the button down).

   Once you selected a hot button, you can access the document designated 
   by this hot button by using the return key or the right arrow.

   You can go back to the document you came from with the left arrow.

You can also use the following commands:

b) ? - will access the help screen:

     Selecting:   Help on HTML     is a good way to start. This is the 
                  document I usually give to my students to learn HTML.

b) o - will access an option menu that you can customize for your
       needs: 

       i)  you can choose an editor, vi or pico
       ii) you can choose a user mode (beginner, intermediate
           or advanced)

c) p - will give you the possibility to save to a file or download
       the current file displayed on your screen.

d) \ - will display the HTML source document that produces what is
       displayed on your screen. If you then use "p", you can even 
       save to a file or download the HTML source document, modify 
       it if you want and use it for your own HTML application.

Hope these quick explanations will be sufficient to get you started!
