2. A ``traditional'' resource:

   A. Simpson, Official Netscape Navigator Gold 3.0 Book. Windows edition. Netscape Press, 1996.

3. Your main page is the document index.htm on your T: drive.

4. Possibilities for your ``prototyping'' folder:
   1. T: drive:
      1. Visible to the world at all times.

      2. Document backups.

   2. A WWW folder on your N: drive:

5. The Gold editor is similar to MS Word, but is not MS Word.

6. The Gold editor is not completely ``WYSIWYG.'' Some designs must be viewed in the browser.
