Navigating the ODB

Making it easier to get around in Frontier

Beginners get lost in Frontier.

The odb can be confusing--even for an old hand at Frontier.

But for beginners, who aren't even comfortable with the database yet or aren't even sure what it is, it is an absolute maze.

Trailblazing

Once I started using Frontier, I began to leave trails (bookmarks) for myself so I'd be able to get around.

These bookmarks are from my Frontier 4.2.3 root, so they are in my custom menu. If I where starting over, I'd probably stick them in the bookmarks menu.

Here they are, hope they give you some ideas.

(The screen shots are ugly, but I'm in a hurry...)

A suggestion

Perhaps it'd be a good idea to have a standard set of Bookmarks in the Bookmarks menu that is similar to what I use here.
