Although the title page and table of contents are presented in traditional publishing format, this hypertext will use the spatial and organizational structure of a MOO. Each section listed in the traditional table of contents corresponds to a central "room," each sub-section corresponding to other objects one would find on a MOO, either rooms or notes. In general, the notes will contain explanatory material, commenting on whatever else the reader might find in that particular room. The "obvious exits" will lead to other rooms, other sections of the hypertext. Some notes and rooms may actually be URLs, linking the reader to the world wide web. This again corresponds to what one can find on a webbed MOO (also referred to as WOOS). All objects created in MOOs can be found and read on the web. In addition, some rooms have been programmed with the capability to link to the internet; for example, DaMOO's Bookmarks or DaMOO's Picture Gallery.
There are five main areas to the hypertext:
Each section loops around in different ways, depending on the material presented. To make movement within each section easier, I have tried to provide obvious exits at logical intersections. One can, at any point, return to the "cvr.html" for that particular section. I have tried to make sure there are no "orphans." Each room should lead to another room, and eventually, back to the main room of each section. Notes, glossary links, links out to the Internet, and citations are an exception; since many of the links are interspersed throughout the document, it is impossible to provide a return link. In these cases, simply returning to a previous document page on your browser, or selecting a document from the history menu should get you back where you want to be.
(You finish reading.)
You can look at the room again, or choose @quit to leave RoxMOO.
