Getting Started
***************
If installed correctly, starting Emacs/W3 is quite painless. Just
type `M-x w3' in a running Emacs session. This will retrieve the
default page that has been configured -- by default the documentation
for Emacs/W3 at Indiana University. The default homepage is specified
by the `w3-default-homepage' variable.
If the default page is not retrieved correctly at startup, you will
have to do some customization.
Once started, you can use the mouse and the menu or use the following
key commands (for more commands and more detail, see Basic Usage:
Basic Usage.).
move forward
press the space bar,
move backwards
press the backspace key,
move to the next HTML reference on the page
press the `TAB' key,
move to the previous HTML reference on the page
press the `SHIFT' and `TAB' keys at the same time. If this does
not work (some text terminals cannot distinguish between `TAB' and
`SHIFT-TAB', pressing the `ALT' and `TAB' keys should also work.
follow a link
put the cursor over it and press the `RETURN' key, or
click the left mouse button on it,
fetch a URL
press the `Control' and `o' keys at the same time,
type the URL, and then press the `RETURN' key,
return to the last URL you were at
press the `l' key,
quit W3 mode
press the `q' key.
