8.2.2 Viewing CM Documents<br />
There are two ways of viewing sections of Connection Machine documents<br />
available on-line: from the menu bar and from the source window.<br />
From the Menu Bar<br />
From the menu bar, choose Online Doc from the Doc menu. This displays a dialog<br />
box in which you can enter the topic on which you want information. The<br />
topic can be in the form of one or more keywords, or it can be a sentence. Clicking<br />
on Search in this dialog box passes the topic on to a special version of xwais,<br />
the X version of Thinking Machines' wide-area information server; see below.<br />
From the Source Window<br />
Select the text on which you want information by dragging the mouse over it.<br />
Then right-click the mouse; a popup menu is displayed. Click on Doc Search in<br />
this menu. <strong>Prism</strong> passes the selected text as a topic to xwais.<br />
Using the xwais Utility<br />
The xwais utility displays a window like the one shown in Figure 40. If you have<br />
selected text as a topic, it appears in the Tell me about: field.<br />
Figure 40. The xwais window.<br />
