The Net Link Web Browser Main Page
This is the control center for browsing the Web. Here you can access the Internet via specific site icons and/or your e-mail address. The following is a list of all the elements that make up the Net Link web browser Main Page:
a. The Document Title
Displays the title of the web page you are currently viewing. You can turn this feature off by un-clicking Show Titlebar in the General Options menu.
b. The Document URL
Displays the address of the web page you are currently viewing. If the address is too long, it will scroll off the left of the bar, allowing you to see the last letters of the address. If you want to go to another Web address, move your arrow (see "d. Arrow Pointer") to point at the URL and press the A Button. A purple line will then appear along with the on-screen keyboard. Use your Sega Saturn controller or Net Link Mouse to click on characters to modify the on-screen URL. (You can also use your PC keyboard with the optional Net Link Keyboard Adapter.)
The Toolbar contains icons that perform various actions. You can activate each icon by positioning your Arrow over the icon and pressing the A Button. Positioning your Arrow on the icon without clicking a button will detail the icon's action in a small pop-up window.
Note
You can change the appearance of the Toolbar Icons and on-screen Arrow by selecting different themes from the Configurations Options.
Stop: Halts an incoming or stalled page.
Back: Returns to the previous Web page.
Forward: Advances to the next Web page (only works if you have already backed up to previously reviewed pages).

d. The Arrow Pointer
The Arrow is your tool for activating the commands on the Toolbar. The Arrow is controlled using the D-Pad or Mouse. When positioned over a Link to another Web page, the Arrow will change appearance. If the Arrow turns into a spinning ball or clock, this means the Browser is busy and cannot be commanded until the arrow returns, or a successful connection has been made.
e. A Link
A Link is a way to quickly connect from a specific Web page to related Web pages. A Link in a Web page is signified by highlighted words or pictures (the word or picture will be surrounded by a light blue box when it is highlighted). The destination of the Link appears in the area that normally displays the Document URL. You can go to the Link's destination by pressing the A Button. When you select a link (by positioning the Cursor over the link and pressing the A Button), the browser will automatically take you to the referenced Web page.
f. Modem Activity Lights
Your Net Link kpbs modem sends and receives data across your telephone line. You will see a blue light on the top of the small vertical bar when the Net Link is sending, and a green light on the bottom of the small vertical bar when Net Link is receiving. No light indicates that your Net Link is waiting to receive data.
g. Data Transfer Progress
Your Net Link web browser has been specially designed to receive up to four documents and/or images simultaneously for the fastest possible performance. You may see up to four bars indicating the progress of each individual item as it comes across the Internet to your Sega Saturn.
On the main page, there are several icons and
areas you can select:
