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> + +<para +>Source: <ulink url="http://tlc.nlm.nih.gov/resources/tutorials/internetdistlrn/gophrdef.htm" +> http://tlc.nlm.nih.gov/resources/tutorials/internetdistlrn/gophrdef.htm</ulink +> </para> +</article> |
