TabNav

1. Lines not enclosed by delimiters {} or those that do not begin with a valid tag are ignored by the applet.
   
   
2. Basic format for TABs, MENUs and ITEMs is...

     {XXXX caption[,icon,icon] | URL[,target] | hint text}
   

   ...where [,icon,icon] refer to optional icon numbers and [,target] refers to optional name of frame or window where the document is to be displayed (a default target for all URLs can be specified in the DEFTARGET param).
   
   
3. The numbers (e.g. caption,1,2) following text captions refer to optional icons. For full explanation see manual.
   
   
4. The curious '=' equals character at the end of two of the entries above means repeat caption text as a hint.
   
   
5. Where URLs are not specified and there is a trailing hint it's important to insert a single asterisk '*' character as a substitute URL.
   
   
6. If hints are nor required the hint part can be omitted. For example {XXXX caption | www.somewhere.com} is a legal entry. If there is no URL or hint {XXXX caption} is also legal. {XXXX caption | hint text} is not legal, the applet will think 'hint text' is a URL - use an asterisk character as a dummy URL (XXXX caption | * | hint text}.
   
   
7. To make folders open at applet startup precede the caption with a '~' character.
