        The core of hypermedia's power lies in the complex
        networks of links that can be created within and
        between documents. The Web View (WV), a tool for
        reviewing and navigating such networks with a minimum
        of user confusion, was developed within Intermedia. WV
        combines a record of the user's path through the
        network with a map of currently available links. A set
        of commands permits the user to open documents
        directly from the WV. IRIS Intermedia includes a word
        processor, a structural graphics editor, a bitmap
        viewer, and a timeline editor; it provides better
        orientation cues and reduces cognitive overhead.
        \\
        WV is a practical and needed tool for authors,
        browsers, and students.
