<H1>Document Windows</H1>
Document windows are where HTML and text files are displayed. You can
open multiple document windows and interact with each window
independently. For example, you can read a document while downloading
files in other windows.
<P>When you download a document, the text is displayed immediately as it
arrives to your computer. After all of the text arrives, images are
loaded. You can scroll text and click on links before the entire
document is loaded. If you click a link before the entire document is
loaded, the current document will be cancelled and the new document
will be downloaded in the same window.
