Bookmarks:
In your browsing of the web, you will undoubtedly come across pages (some with long, forgettable URLs) that you will wish to save for later viewing (such as news sites, which may update regularly). In web browsing, you don't "save" web pages, per se. You instead "bookmark" the site's URL. To bookmark a page, browse to the page you wish to bookmark. Click the "Communicator" menu, "Bookmarks," and "Add Bookmark" (or, you can simply press Ctrl+D on the keyboard). Netscape will automatically name the favorite site whatever the page's creator had written in that page's title bar and add it to the very bottom of the bookmark listing. If you wish to change the name of your bookmark, or place it into a folder to organize your bookmarks select Communicator >> Bookmarks >> Edit Bookmarks (or press Ctrl+B).

Now, any time you wish to visit that page, click Communicator >> Bookmarks, browse the menu to the link you have created, and click it.

Downloading Files:
One of the first things to understand while browsing the web is that each page you go to is, in actuality, just a file like any image, song, or program you have. It can be viewed, edited, and downloaded off the web to your own computer. All HTML files, images, and text online can be downloaded. To download a file, click the right mouse button over the link (again, be it an image, HTML file / web page, etc.), and click "Save Link As." A familiar box should pop up prompting you to save the file to a desired location.
