About navigation in this web project:
Your browsers "Back" button is your best friend. Although the site is designed so that you are able to move to any part in a couple of clicks, it cannot bring you back precisely to, say, the precise point you were at in the full text of "The Adventure of the Speckled Band."  Your browser can.  After you click on a link and you are moved into another category or topic, simply click on the "Back" button to come back to where you started out    This web page overuses frames in an attempt to make navigation as easy as possible: theoretically, you are only a couple of clicks from any page on this site.  That is, a click on most of the categories above will create a menu for that category. Wherever you are in the site the top menu is always there, and wherever you go in a category its particular menu is there.  This hopefully is relatively intuitive (a popular word with computers these days) and makes moving around in the site easy.  As an example, the Intro link at the top of each menu brings you back to the introduction page for that category, which should have been the first page that you saw upon entering a particular category.  Likewise, clicking on the word Intro in the frame above at any time while perusing this exhibit will take you back to this screen.

   When you click on a link that brings you to a specific place on a page, with any luck the spot you are aiming for should appear at the very top of the page.
