Hints for Newbies and the Cyber Challenged.

I am in awe of the ease with which many of you navigate cyber space and you will all probably laugh at some of the things that I didn't know and had to work out on my own. These are a couple of Webflyer tricks that I have finally worked out that have made it a little easier for me. On the outside chance that there is anybody else out there who is as computer challenged as I, here are two small things that help me:

1. When I am reading Webflyer the posts, I go to the UAL site and open the Airport Code Search window and then leave it in a reduced state at the bottom of my screen. That way I can figure out instantly what people are talking about when they throw in strange airport codes like RAP, TAG, BET or BOO.

2. It also took me a while to figure out how much faster I could navigate if I used the closing X in the upper right hand corner of the screen to return from a referred site or from reading a profile, and to use the back arrow when reading multiple threads.

If anybody else knows any tricks that us slow folk might not know, I would appreciate your posting them.
