An example of typical use on cdfsga is:
      > setenv DISPLAY xxxxxx.yyyy.zzz:0             (as usual)
      > setup www
      > Netscape &

A line mode browser is also available,
     > setup www
     > lynx


The "Home Page" (the first page that one sees) can be changed.
Here is an example:
      > setenv DISPLAY xxxxxx.yyyy.zzz:0             (as usual)
      > setup www
      > setenv WWW_HOME file:$HOME/www/home.html
      > Netscape &


One can specify programs other than the defaults
to display certain types of files.  
Such new mappings can be specified in the file:
      $HOME/.mailcap

An example is 
      application/postscript; psview %s
which specifies that PostScript files should be viewed with the psview program.

Another example is
      application/pdf; /usr/products/acrobat/b4_0/bin/acroread %s
which specifies that PDF files should be viewed with the acroread program.



The CDFNEWS newsgroups can easily be accessed on cdfsga.
     > setenv DISPLAY xxxxxx.yyyy.zzz:0             (as usual)
     > setup www
     > Netscape news:fnal.cdf.cdf &

The CDFNEWS newsgroups can also be accessed via a line mode browser:
     > setup www
     > lynx news:fnal.cdf.cdf





P.S. For the time being, we suggest that one avoids reading mail 
using a WWW browser, we are recommending exmh for mail reading instead.
