Help on Collection Lists

Hyper-G supports structured hypermedia: documents can be grouped together into collections, which may themselves belong to other collections.

Icons appearing in a collection list:

Collection (open)
Collection (closed)
Cluster
Text, http link
Postscript, compressed Postscript
Image
Audio
Film
3D Scene
Generic Object
ftp link
Telnet Session
Gopher index
The collection list displays members of the current level of Hyper-G collection, together with some optional additional attribute information. Note that the number of members displayed can differ from the number of objects actually in the collection, depending on your user identification mode (see Help on Identification).

You can change the amount of attribute information (author, date, size, etc.) displayed for each member by modifying the display setting in the Options menu: OPTIONS

The default is to display no attributes.
Possible attributes are:

for collections:
number of subdocuments, author;
for clusters:
number of subdocuments, modification date (if present, otherwise creation date), author;
for all other documents:
size, modification date (if present, otherwise creation date), author (not for remote documents).

You can also toggle the display of the 'Collection Head'. When on, the collection head document (typically a description of the collection) is displayed before the actual collection list. When off, the collection head document appears in the collection list like any other document.
