Netscape Communicator

netscape &
at the ACS command line.
A default Netscape Navigator browser window will open on your screen. To access the various Communicator components, use the Communicator pull-down menu, located near the top of the window.
This version of Netscape must be run on a graphics-capable terminal such as one of the X-terminals located in the public terminal cluster in Mugar Library.
Other Web
Browsers
If you use a PC or Mac, we recommend you
run a web brownser
locally on that PC or Mac. This will usually give you the
best browser speed and performance.
If you did want to use the ACS version of Netscape from a PC or
Mac, you'd need to use an X
emulation program such as X-Win32 for Windows or X11 for Mac
OS X.
An alternative is to run lynx, an ASCII/text-only Web browser also available on ACS.

Extensive online help is available via the Help pull-down menu
located in the upper right corner of the Navigator browser window.
