The Web Browser

Sdr has a simple built-in World Wide Web browser. This is not intended to be a full functioned browser because its main purpose is to allow references to information about sessions to be checked and browsed without starting up a fully functioned WWW browser which would use a significant proportion of the available colour table entries on most machines with 8 bit displays. Thus Sdr's built in browser does not display inline or background images - it merely displays the formatted HTML text of a page with the hyperlinks to other pages highlighted in blue. Clicking on a blue link will take you to that page. Clicking on backward will take you back to the previous page, and clicking on ``forward'' wil take you forward to the page you just came backwards from. A URL can be typed directly into the entry box at the bottom of the window if required, and the browser will then go directly to that page. The World Wide Web is really beyond the scope of this note - for more details see [2].
