Use cookies: Some Web pages store data on your communicator in files called

‘cookies’. Use this setting to determine whether to accept cookies, and if
you accept them, whether you wish to be prompted each time a cookie is
stored. The options are Always/Never/Ask.

Cache size: When you view a page on the WWW, it is downloaded and stored in the

communicator’s cache memory. This saves you from downloading the
page from the WWW each time you view the page, speeding the display
of the page in the browser. Since storing Web pages consumes memory,
you can select the amount of memory to use for the cache. The options
are Small/Large.

Empty cache on exit: Determines whether you want to empty the cache memory

when you exit the WWW browser. The options are Yes/No.

the pages you have browsed
through during the current
session, press the Menu key
and select Go > History list.

2 If the Web page was recently visited, the page is retrieved from the cache

memory of the communicator. If not, the page is retrieved from the Internet by
using a data call to the selected Internet access point.

appears in the line on top of the display if the page and

its components are encrypted by the security protocol.

you may experience when
downloading Web pages,
see the Troubleshooting
chapter.

3 Some servers have access restrictions that require a valid user name and

password. In this case, you will prompted for your user name and password
before the Web page can be retrieved. The communicator stores the user names
and passwords that you type in to gain access to that Web page, and the next
time you connect to the same Web page, they will be offered automatically.

4 When the Web page is being retrieved, the line on top of the display shows the

status of the connection, the title of the page, and the percentage of the page
received.

Shift + Tab. Alternatively use the Pointer tool; you can turn it on via the
shortcut Ctrl + Q. See ‘Pointer’ on page 151 .
