But there are lots of unknown words ...

Lots of words in CAS genesisWorld and in the online help will not be understood when you first see them.

• Specialist terms are frequent: Hyperlinks with a dotted line. If you place your cursor over a link, you will see that a short explanation is displayed.

  A link (hyperlink) is a unique reference to an Internet page, which is displayed, for example, in the address row of the browser.

  Links to an Internet page, in a program, a document, an e-mail, and so on, can be displayed as underlined texts, buttons or pictures.

  For advanced users
  These references use URLs (Uniform Resource Locators): these are unique forms of identification for Internet pages. In other words, a URL is the file name of the internet page and the associated path, that is the location where the page can be found.

• Or alternatively, you can open the Glossary in the contents of the online help to look-up specific words.

• Glossary - Technical Terms
