This manual presents the Amaya user interface for Linux and Windows platforms. Your user interface could be a little different depending on your system and unique configuration. It is not a complete user manual. Its purpose is only to help users to discover the main features of the software. This document is organized as a book and you can use the XHTML > Make Book command to build and print the whole manual.

Many commands in Amaya are the same as those provided by common word processors and editors. They are not presented here. Only Amaya specific aspects are described.

## Starting Amaya

To start Amaya on a Linux platform, type:

        amaya [-display host] [document]

The parameter `-display host` is optional. It allows one to define the remote X-Window host screen where Amaya should display Web pages provided this feature is available.

The parameter `[document]` is optional. It is the file name or the URI of the first document Amaya should display when starting. If you omit this parameter, a Amaya displays a default document. The default document could be your home page (see how to configure your Home Page) or the Amaya Welcome page.
