Better yet, try html -- hypertext markup language. It's the native language of the world-wide-web, a project aimed at making it very easy to browse the web of information available by ftp, gopher, http, nntp, etc. See comp.infosystems.www for more information. The best web browser (imho) is NCSA Mosaic, available free from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu. There are X, Windows, and Mac versions.
