+<para
+>Gopher is an Internet information browsing service that uses a menu-driven interface. Users select information from menus, which may return another menu or display a text file. An item may reside on a Gopher server you originally queried, or it may be on another Gopher server (or another host). Gopher can <quote
+>tunnel</quote
+> from one Gopher to another without the user knowing that the server and/or host machine have changed. Gopher keeps the exact location of computers hidden from the user, providing the <quote
+>illusion</quote
+> of a single, large set of interconnected menus. </para>
+
+<para
+>Gopher permits the user to record an item's location in a <quote
+>bookmark</quote
+> thereby allowing users to follow a <quote
+>bookmark</quote
+> directly to a particular item without searching the menu system. Gopher menus are not standardised, inasmuch as each Gopher server is individually determined. </para>
