7.2 On-line Help

XID uses the NCSA Mosaic application for viewing its on-line help. NCSA Mosaic is a networked information discovery, retrieval, collaboration tool, and World Wide Web browser developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.

Mosaic provides a hypertext interface to the global Internet. Hypertext is text which contains highlighted links, called hyperlinks or anchors, to other texts. Each highlighted phrase (in color or underlined) is a hyperlink to another document or information resource. Single click with the left mouse button on any highlighted phrase to follow the link. To follow a link, in this sense, means that Mosaic will retrieve the document associated with the selected hyperlink and display it.
