Z-Mail Pro 6.1 User's Guide

Chapter 4. Go IntraNet!

Go IntraNet! is a feature that lets you easily start other NetManage applications. The menu includes specific configuration data, allowing you to select sessions, destinations, or programs.

This feature can be activated either as a menu in a NetManage application or by selecting the Go IntraNet! icon on the NEWTToolbar, if applicable to the specific product. When a command is selected, the appropriate application is started with the requested destination or from a list of previously defined .CFG files, connection profiles, history lists and hotlists. You can also use Go IntraNet! to copy selected text into Z-Mail™ Pro and Web browser applications. Go IntraNet! is simply a faster and more efficient way to perform these operations.

Activating NetManage Applications

The following sections describe the procedures for using Go IntraNet! to activate NetManage applications.

Note: The applications described are all the applications that can be launched from Go IntraNet!. However, not all of them are available with all the NetManage products. By default, they appear in the command list. If you do not want a particular application to appear in the command list, you can configure Go IntraNet! to delete them. For more information, refer to the "Configuring Go IntraNet!" section later in this chapter.

General Information

The first command of Go IntraNet! toggles between a number of options each time you open the menu. However, in all cases, selecting this command displays general information about NetManage from a local Web page which means you do not have be connected to the Internet to access this page.

The Shoot Select Text As command lets you place selected text in the following locations:

  • address or body of Z-Mail™ Pro message
  • URL destination of the default browser

To copy selected text into the URL destination of a Web browser, mail address or mail text of Z-Mail™ Pro from an application, do the following:

  2. Choose the Go IntraNet! menu of the current window.
  3. Choose the Browse URL command from the drop-down menu of the Shoot Select Text As command. The main window of the default browser appears with the selected text in the URL destination.
