1. Introduction

When you start the RUN TIME SYSTEM, you do not normally see the navigation bar. This is so because it has been set as a floating bar by default, which means that you have to run the mouse pointer over the area of the screen where it has been placed for it to be displayed.
By default, the navigation bar is located at the top of the screen.

The space that appears underneath the navigation bar is usually filled with the opening frame of the courseware set by default,  normally an index or an multi-point access frame. If no courseware has been defined, it will appear as an empty blue space; yet, the navigation bar will still be available, following the procedure described above. 

2. Options of the navigation bar

The navigation bar contains a set of buttons allowing the user to navigate through the course.

 OPEN: opens a dialog box which allows you to choose in your hard disk the courseware you want to run
 CONNECT: opens a dialog box which allows you to connect  to a remote Asset Base
 BACK: goes back to the previous exercise within the linear structure of the course
 HOME: jumps to the first explanation or exercise of the course
 NEXT: goes to the next exercise within the linear structure of the course
 PRINT: opens the system’s printer dialog and prints the present screen's content
 HELP: opens the help explaining every functionality of the application
 ABOUT: shows the credits
 EXIT: exits the application
3. Customizing the navigation bar

The navigation bar  has been fixed as a floating tool bar at the top of the screen in order to allow for the maximum
display space for content frames.  

The navigation Bar may contain the title of the courseware given by the Developer.
