12.3 Logging on.
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the location address of a web page; for example,
www.humanware.com, or Flash Disk\My Favorites\hw.
The first prompt displayed when you select KeyWeb from the Main Menu is a request for a URL.
At this point you have several options. You can either:
Select the home page, which is the URL offered;
Type a URL;
Copy and paste a URL from another location, such as from KeyWord or KeyMail (For more
information refer to 1.20 Copying and Pasting Text);
Select a URL from your favorites (For more information refer to 12.9.3 Selecting a Favorite);
Select a URL from the history list (For more information refer to 12.11.1 History Records);
Select an HTML file from a folder (For more information refer to 12.8 Application Management);
Having made a selection, press ENTER. KeySoft prompts for a connection configuration. If you
only have one set up, this one will be offered. If you have several configurations, it will offer the
last one used. To change service provider, press SPACE at the prompt and select another one in the
usual way.
During the page loading process, you may hear a series of beeps unless you have turned them off;
these are progress tones, designed to let you know something is happening while the page is
loading. You can also find out what percentage of the page has loaded by pressing SPACE with H.
When the page has completed loading, KeyWeb will display the words in the top line of the page.
Note that you can hear the contents of a URL by pressing SPACE with dots 3-4 then repeat the
command.

Progress tones are there to let you know a page is loading or a download is progressing normally.
You can control their volume or turn them off altogether. To do this, go to the Options Menu,
Review Voice by pressing SPACE with O then R. Press SPACE repeatedly to reach the Progress
Tone Volume option. Type a number between 0 and 6. Zero disables the tone, 6 is loudest. To leave
the setting unchanged, just press ENTER. The factory setting is 4.
