If you are viewing this page from your browser, you have navigated through the WWW¹ successfully, using your browser's² go to/Location box, and a few hot links³. There are other simple ways to change the page you are viewing, including the "Back" and "Forward" buttons, and the history/go list.	¹pp. 9, 14–15, 67–71 ²pp. 9, 14–15, 70–71, 143, 146 ³pp. 69, 100–104
As their names imply, these features are related in that the first two use the third. Most browsers keep a list of which pages you visit, and the order in which you visit them. This list of pages is usually referred to as the "history list." Anytime you want to return to a page that you have previously viewed (since last opening the browser program-unlike bookmarks, the history list may not persist between uses!), you can look at the history list and simply select (by clicking) any of the pages listed therein. Clicking on the "Back" button takes you to the page you visited immediately before the page you are currently viewing, and clicking the "Forward" button opens the page (if one exists) that you visited after first visiting the current page. Use all of these standard navigation techniques (hot text and icons, the "go to" window, the back and forward buttons, and the history list) to browse through (hence the terms "browser") the materials that comprise the Analytical Engine Online. In the the interest of guiding (ever so gently) your efforts, navigate your way through the AE online materials to answer the following questions, which you should do on a separate sheet of paper. What is the URL of Lab Activity 8.3? Can you determine it without visiting that page? How many lab activities are provided for Module 7? What is the title of Lab Activity 9.4? What happens when you click on the "Back" button when you are viewing the introduction page for Module 6: Program Translation? Which lab activities have programs (Java applets or JavaScript programs) included with them? How can you tell? "Spreading the Wealth" is the name of a lab activity in which module? List three ways to return to the AE home page from the introductory page for Module 3?
