5.1.1 Similarities between the browser and World Wide Web browsers

The way the browser works is similar to a World Wide Web browser. Just as a web browser shows one page of HTML at a time, the browser describes the properties of one object at a time. And just as an HTML page can contain links to other pages, object descriptions in the browser can refer to other browsable objects. To browse them, you simply double-click on their names.

The browser has a history mechanism just like a web browser, allowing you to move back and forth between objects you have browsed by clicking on Back () and Forward () toolbar buttons.
