Hi Tannis: Go button isn't needed! I generally select where I want to go from iCab's "Hotlist" pull-down menu. Similar to Netscape Navigator's bookmarks pull down menu. Actually I first imported all my former Communicator's bookmarks into iCab, and they were converted to iCab's version of same, including sub folders, etc., all in place as before. So was a piece of cake using iCab afterwards. Another method (if it isn't in your Hotlist menu, is to type the web site address into iCab's URL field window, then hit the return on your keyboard, and iCab will take you there. You can bookmark sites by choosing add this page via the pull down Hotlist menu, and that html address will be added to your on-going hot list. There are other means of iCab navigating, via adding hot list sites to a multi-tab bar, but I haven't had the need to progress to that level yet. Another helpful suggestion is to give iCab about 15,000K of memory (which is 1/3rd of what Communicator needed), even though iCab's default suggested memory is 7,200K. Speeds iCab's navigation up, loads web pages quicker, also helps it's downloads manager download files quicker. Should also mention that iCab does not come with plug-ins. You have to make a plug-ins folder that resides in iCab's folder, and add what you need to it. Rather spending time to search, etc., I simply dragged all the plug-ins I had from former Netscape Communicator's plug-ins folder into the new plug-ins folder I made for iCab, launched iCab, went thru all it's preferences, changing only what i needed to. iCab's and the plug-ins have been running great ever since. I registered it within 3 days of trying it out. Though iCab is still a work in progress, it has some capabilities that, which gets me into sites that no longer recognize earlier versions of Netscape, or Explorer, or just Netscape browsers. Since switching to iCab 5 months ago, never had the need to look back. There's a new preview version iCab 2.9.8 released last week with a bunch of bug and certificate recognition problems fixed. Giving you more info that you asked for, but, hope it helps.
