In the compact main menu you can set the basic functions of the WebAssistant.
This main menu should therefore always be visible on your screen while
you are browsing. The main menu displays the most essential parameters
on the used Surf Sets. You also can quickly,
temporarily adapt some parameters to the current surf situation here.

Surf Mode
Offline 
In the offline mode, all locally available pages of the cache archive, you can request with its URL.
Online 
Online mode corresponds with normal browsing but available files in the cache archive can be re-used.
The re-use can be adjusted variously at
HTML files
and other resources
e.g. pictures. See Surf Set/Surf Mode
Surf Set 
Dialog for setting of the parameters used at surfing, e.g. marking of differences within a HTML page.
The parameters are saved in a surf set. You can create different surf sets. At surfing the selected surf set by you is used.
Options 
Dialog to set the base options, such as language.
Frett 
Starting from the HTML page currently visible, the Frett (Ferret) traces additional links. These resources can always be used from the cache archive's continued browsing. The depth of the links to be traced and a forecast over the files still to be loaded is reported.
Forecast of the files still to be loaded:
less than 10 files
less than 100 files
about that
Generally the surfer cannot predict the number of files to be loaded,
under circumstances many files can be loaded automatically. Therefore the
loading up process can be stopped with the reset button Frett
.
With Surf Set/Frett you can specify the depth of Frett and the resources to be traced.
Web-Site mirror 
You can mirror parts of a complete web site or linked offers automatically.
URL Filter 
Unwanted content is filtered so that it is not loaded. For this function activate the filter. The relevant parameters can be set with Surf Set/URL Filter.
Session Filter 
To identify users, some providers use temporary session identifiers
in the URL. If an archive is used, these sites can
therefore not be used to full extent. In simple cases WebAssistant
automatically recognises this and deletes the session identifier. For this,
activate the field Session
.
Further session filters can be set with Surf
Set/Session Filter.
Report
Reports protocol the activities of the WebAssistant.
It is therefore often advisable to choose these functions. The report can
switch on and off with Option/General/Report/URL
Report or with Traffic Statistic.

URL reports in the main menu:
files loaded by the browser
files loaded by the frett of
WebAssistant
with a failure
