The buttons on the title bar are the standard Microsoft Windows control buttons. The button on the left is the system menu that controls the window size and the application. The buttons on the right let you iconify or maximize the Mosaic window.
Each toolbar option is also available on a menu.
Below is a brief description of each button's function and the corresponding menu where the same function is available:
While the cursor is over the gray area around the location bar, three right mouse button menu features are available:
The globe is a transfer interrupt mechanism. Cancel the transfer of a file at any time by clicking on the globe with the left mouse button. (Pressing the ESC key also cancels a transfer.)
The Mosaic logo is a toggle--it is displayed only when the location bar or toolbar are active. The size of the logo changes depending on the number of bars you have displayed. The logo is largest when both the location bar and the toolbar are displayed.
Title Bar
The title bar displays the name of the NCSA Mosaic program and the title of the current document.
Menu Bar
The menu bar displays the seven NCSA Mosaic menus. (See Chapter 3, "Menus," for more information.)
Toolbar
The toolbar provides quick access to the most commonly-used Mosaic functions. The display of the toolbar is a toggle, which means it is either on or off--displayed or not. If the toolbar is displayed, select Show Toolbar on the Options menu to hide it. Repeat the process to display the toolbar again. (You can also toggle the toolbar by pressing Alt+T.)

Location Bar
The Internet "address" of the current document--its URL or URN-- appears in this field (see Appendix A, "Glossary"), which is located to the left of the NCSA Mosaic logo. The check mark and X are active only if you are working in the field.
If you don't see the location bar, select Show Current URL from the Options menu (or press Alt+L) to display it. Repeat the process to hide it again.
NCSA Mosaic Logo
The NCSA Mosaic logo serves several purposes. The globe is stationary while you are reading a document and starts to spin when you request a file. It continues to spin as long as NCSA Mosaic is connecting to a server or working on a file transfer. Document View Area
Documents are displayed in this area, including inlined images, graphics, and forms. Use either keyboard commands or the mouse and scroll bars to move a document in the window. Keyboard Commands
Scroll Bars
One or two scroll bars may be available in a document view window:
These scroll bars work exactly like the scroll bars that commonly appear in Microsoft Windows applications. Click in the scroll bar area on either side of the button to move the document in one page increments. Click on the small arrow at either end of the scroll bar to move the document in one line increments.Status Bar
The status bar displays information about the current download. Located at the bottom of the Mosaic screen, it is divided into three fields: message display (left), visual status display (middle), and progress indicator (right). Display of the status bar is optional. If the status bar is displayed, select Show Status Bar on the Options menu (or press ALT+S) to hide it. Repeat the process to display the status bar again.
