Double Windows

Sometimes it is helpful to view two Web pages at the same time. You can do so by opening two browser windows according to the help files for your Web browser. Size these windows so that one Web page appears above the other, for example, the poem above and the glossary below. Then you can use scroll bars of both windows.
