So, after fooling around for a couple of minutes, there
are a couple of ways to get to these pages you use often.

First, you can always get back to the Home Page, which
has a nice selection of topics by going to the GO menu
and selecting "Home". Or Cntl-Home gets you there. From
there what you looking for is usually less than a couple
of clicks away.

Second, once you find the darn page, you can bookmark it,
just like you would do in your browser. Then you can go
directly there just by selecting the page from your bookmark
list.

Cheers,

David
