  Selecting a Section to Read

  When you open a book, the    Navigation window       opens and
  displays the table of contents and index entries for that book.
  The table of contents may also contain entries for figures,
  tables, and examples.

  All entries in the Navigation window are hotspots (with the
  exception of some index entries).  Double click on any entry to
  open that section.

  The listing that you see in the Navigation window does not
  always show a complete list of the entries.  Some entries are
  preceded by arrows:
