the navigation bar
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.

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
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.
