An easy and fast way to find information on a page in Netscape Navigator is the Edit-Find in Page command. For example, if I wanted to know where there was a law that stated that monkeys could not smoke cigarettes, I would click on the link, then on the standard toolbar select Edit-Find in Page (in Netscape Navigator), and I would type in a keyword such as monkey or cigarettes. This would find all occurrences of the word on that page.
