# Browsing Help

[return-to: MH Book Home Page]

Here are some notes to help you use the online edition of this book:

- Trying to find something in the book? When you're searching, remember that you can do more than use the system-searchable index. Your browser probably has a built-in search command to search the page you're viewing. So try a search command inside the table of contents. Or, when you pull up a page of the book, and you don't see the place you were looking for, use your browser's search command on that page.
- These files use the HTML non-breaking space character, &nbsp;, to hold related words together; if you see it in the text, either get a better Web browser or imagine that you're seeing a single space. The same goes for some non-ASCII characters, like `¡` (an upside-down exclamation point, represented in HTML as `&iexcl;`) and this `ñ` (an `n` with a tilde (`~`) over it, reperesented in HTML by the entity `&ntilde;`).

  If your browser has any of those problems, you'll have some trouble viewing these files because your page won't look exactly the way it should.

- If your connection to this Web site is slow, you can FTP copies of the book files to install on your local computer. They take 4 or 5 Megabytes of disk space after uncompressing. They aren't updated as often as the rest of the book (which will be updated often, I hope!). But if you'll send me your email address, I'll add you to a list of people to notify when I make new versions. There's a gzipped tar file (good for UNIX systems) and a ZIPped file for DOS/Windows and other machines with ZIP-compatible unarchiving programs. Be sure to get the README file for more info.
