Choosing PREV on the first page of a documentation module takes you up one level in the documentation hierarchy.

Navigator Facility

The navigator facility is a Java applet that runs in a separate window. Invoke it by choosing either INDEX or CONTENTS from the navigation bar on the HTML page.

Problems with Blocked Content

Software AG documentation uses active content (JavaScript and Java applets). With Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP, Microsoft introduced a range of powerful new security features. One effect of these security features is that warning messages appear whenever you try to display HTML pages that use active content, for example Software AG documentation, in the Internet Explorer. A typical warning message that appears in the Internet Explorer information bar is:

Warning:
To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options...
