                                   LINK
                                   ====

=======     A visible or explicit connection established between at
WHAT IS     least one file and one or more other files. <3A263A5 FILE>
A LINK?     This connection is (as variously labelled) "built" or
=======     "embedded" or "inserted" into a clean ASCII file by the
            hypertext builder. The links are denoted by way of
            brackets, which look like this: <>. The brackets serve
            as file name delimiters which enclose the names of
            specific files included in the system.

=======     For example, when the user sees on a screen brackets
EXAMPLE     enclosing data, like this, <3A263>, it signifies that
=======     file "3A263" is connected to this file (which is file
            3A263A3), and hence can be accessed from this file.





======      Links can also be called "jump-point" labels or
JUMP        buttons. <3A263A1 JUMP> When the hypertext network user
POINTS      invokes a link, which is like pressing a button,
======      <3A263A2 INVOKE> he or she in effect "jumps" to another
            node <3A263A4 NODE> or file from the highlighted file
            names contained in the brackets.

=======     For example, file <3A263> can be called the
EXAMPLE     label/button of jump-point "3A263." When jump-point
=======     "3A263" is invoked, the computer brings up the
            information linked to the jump-point labelled "3A263";
            this file name - 3A263 - is found between the angle
            brackets.

=========   In addition, any information in the angle brackets will
HIGHLIGHT   be highlighted whether or not it refers to an actual
=========   file or node.
