Conventions Used

Resizing Help Frames

By default, Cosmo Worlds Help consists of three frames: the title bar, the side bar with contents, and the body. You can resize any of these frames by dragging the frame divider. When you resize the whole Netscape window, the frames reset themselves to their original sizes--you will have to resize the frames again.

For a frames lite version of the help, click the SmallHelp button on the title bar. This replaces the three-frame help with a larger window and small navigation bar. Note that switching to SmallHelp replaces the text in the main window with the Contents.

Tip: When using SmallHelp, you can free up more window space by hiding Netscape's Toolbar, Location, and Directory Buttons. From Netscape's menu bar, deselect any of the following: Options > Show Toolbar, Show Location, Show Directory Buttons.

Some stand-alone diagrams appear too large to fit in your Netscape window. These are large .gif images not embedded in an HTML page. You can resize the window by dragging its edges or edit your general preferences for helper applications to view these images in their own window. See Netscape's Handbook for more details.
