.SH NAME
Pod \- X-windows based directory user agent.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pod
[ OPTIONS ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIPod\fR is an x-windows interface to
the Quipu implementation of the X500 directory intended for 
novice users.
.PP
X500 is a worldwide directory service providing
information on people, places and organizations.
As yet it is still in it's infancy and thus the amount
of information contained in the directory is limited.
The directory can be thought of as an `electronic phonebook'.
Like a phonebook,
a geographic structure is imposed on the data;
no phonebook lists all people in the world in a single alphabetic sequence.
It is necessary to have some idea of where a person might be before starting
to search for them.
The directory is similar;
information is held in a hierarchical structure,
with data on countries held at the top level of the hierarchy
and information on organizations,
and the entities contained therein
(people,
departments etc.),
held below this.
.PP
\fIPod\fR relies heavily on the concept of the user 'navigating'
around the directory database,
'visiting' entries.
At any one time the user occupies a single position in the
directory,
where this position corresponds to some directory entry,
e.g. the country Great Britain.
The name of the currently visited entry
is shown in the upper right window of
\fIpod\fR's main screen.
This name has a form similar to that of a postal address,
as shown in the example below.
.sp
.in +.5i
.nf
The World
.br
GB
.br
Brunel University
.fi
.in -.5i
.sp
The user can browse below the current position using
the search and list functions,
details of which can be found using the on-line help
system.
Information on entries visited is displayed automatically
in the lower right window of the main screen.
