The M7140 Expanded Memory Map
The Links Web Browser Application
The M7140 Expanded Memory version desktop terminal includes a fully functional web
browser application called “links”. The links program can be started by using the M7140
menu system and selecting the “Linux Prompt” and typing “links”. The optional “-g” turns
graphics mode on, if this option is left off then the browser will start in text mode and graphic
images will not be displayed. The screen shots below show the links program running on the
M7140.
Once the operator hits “ENTER” from the welcome screen then the control menu for the links
program is selected by hitting the “Esc” key. If the M7140 terminal has connectivity to the
internet, then the operator can type in any valid URL and the M7140 will display the web
page.
If there is no connectivity to the internet or if a
local firewall prohibits internet access, then the
M7140 will display a blank screen
.
Once a web page is displayed, the operator can “pan around” the screen by using the “Shift”
key then an arrow key (? ? ? ? ). The thin bars on the right side and bottom of the M7140
display shows how far the screen has shifted from the top left corner.
