The Amosaic NoNet version can run in stand alone mode ( i.e. NO NETwork). This is for testing purposes before you get your network connection. In v1.2 or earlier you are greeted with an error message instead of a document in this NoNet mode.
To see the local html files you must use the Open Local menu item and then choose volumes. You must go all the way to the list of volumes because this allows you to build the file pointer from scratch. Choose the volume where Amosaic is stored and then work your way down to the docs/html directory. There should be a file called index.html. Choose it and it should open. Once you open the index.html file it has hypertext links to many of the other local html documents. It also has remote links which obviously won't work in NoNet mode.
To make index.html your default or "home page" you can edit the envarc:mosaic/prefs and set the HomeDocument variable. For example:
HomeDocument file://localhost/SYS:Comms/Mosaic/HTML/index.html
The change will be active the next time you boot or To make it active copy the envarc:mosaic/prefs to env:mosaic/prefs.
