ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, program product, and method support the annotation of a hypertext document with one or more comments to supply additional information to a user about that document and/or about other documents linked to that document. With the latter type of comments, such comments are displayed to a user prior to the user attempting to retrieve any hypertext document associated with such comments, so that the user can make a more informed decision prior to retrieving the hypertext document. Thus, for example, if a comment for a given hypertext document indicates that the document would not be particularly useful, the user may decide to not retrieve the document, and thus save the time otherwise associated with retrieving and viewing the document.
