                     41: This module provides some "make life easier" functions in order to get
                     42: the application going. They help you generate the first anchor, also
                     43: called the <EM>home anchor</EM>. It also contains a nice set of
                     44: default WWW addresses.

2.3       frystyk    51: 
                     52: When a request is terminated, the application often has to do some
                     53: action as a result of the request (and of the result of the
                     54: request). The Application part of the Library provides two following
                     55: modules to handle <EM>logging</EM> and <EM>history
                     56: management</EM>. You can register a <EM>POST request handler</EM> in
                     57: the <A HREF="HTNet.html">Net Manager</A> as described in the <A

                     59: 
                     60: You can find a function called <CODE>HTLoadTerminate</CODE> in the <A

2.1       frystyk    65: 
                     66: Often it is required to log the requests issued to the Library. This
                     67: can either be the case if the application is a server or it can also
                     68: be useful in a client application. This module provides a simple
                     69: logging mechanism which can be enabled if needed.

                     78: visited when browsing along on the Web. The Library history manager
                     79: provides a basic set of functionality to keep track of a linear
                     80: history list.
