At any given time one message from the open folder, called the selected message , is shown in the display pane of the WebCard window. The corresponding line in the table of contents is highlighted. Clicking on a different line, or using the up and down arrow buttons, changes the selected message. The user can respond to the selected message, forward it, copy or move it to the selected folder, and so on. Users can also perform standard operations on folders, such as creating, renaming, and deleting folders.
Users can respond to a news article, copy articles to the selected folder, and so on.
Once a Web page is displayed, clicking on a link fetches the associated page, which then replaces the existing page in WebCard's display pane. The Web page in the display pane can be added to the selected folder. When a page is added to a folder, the folder's table of contents shows an entry for the page. Once in a folder, Web pages can be moved or copied to another folder just like any mail message or news article. The advantage of WebCard folders over bookmarks in conventional Web browsers is that WebCard folders can also contain mail messages and news articles.
