Highway's main screen is pretty self-explanatory (see Figure 1 below). Like all web browsers, it contains an address
bar, Back and Forward buttons, and several other buttons on the Top Toolbar, including Go,
Refresh, Stop, Home, and Help.
Beneath the Top Toolbar is a Menu Bar containing items such as
File, Edit, Tools, and Help, each of which contain appropriate sub-menus.
Beneath the menu bar is the Bottom Toolbar. The Bottom Toolbar contains the
following buttons: Favorites, Web Search, Copy, Print, and Options. In addition,
at the far right end of the Bottom Toolbar there is one more button which will
appear on occasion depending on the web page you are looking at. It's a secure
lock icon which appears automatically when visiting a secure web site. If you do
not see this icon, then the web page you are currently looking at is not secure.
In other words, don't enter any private information into such a page.
Each toolbar button contains an image and/or some text that explain its functionality.
Mousing over a button will also cause a tooltip to be displayed if further explanation is needed.
A screenshot of the main screen appears below. An explanation of the functionality of
some of the less obvious buttons and menu items follows.
