Final Report, MIT Committee on EVAT
Hyperlinks
A hyperlink, or active link, is like a reference citation in a paper or a book, except that, thanks to the magic of computers and communications, you are spared the need to find the document and get a physical copy of it.
Hyperlinks appear underlined in pages displayed by Web browsers. You can use your mouse to click on the underlined word or phrase, and the computer will
- go out on the Internet (or perhaps to a local file on your computer);
- retrieve the page referred to;
- display it for you.
This is probably how you got to where you are now.
To return from a hyperlink
At the top of the window in which your Web browser is running, look for two arrows, pointing left and right. Use your mouse to click on the left-pointing arrow. You will return to the previous page, to the very point where you left it. (Some Web browsers provide other ways to return.)
