It is a bit tricky as you have to look in two places at the same time.
Look at the very bottom of the screen on the right hand side. Roll
the coursor slowly across the writing there. v1.87,GPL,386+ 0:13:21
(the last numbers are in red and tell you how long you've been online)
Then read what it says in the status bar back to the far left. You'll
see it then. "More information" when you're on V1.87 and "control
connectipn page" when you are on the online clock numbers. These
clickable spots always tell you what they do, same as the ikons--
just look down there in the lower left and move the cursor around
and you'll find these spots for yourself.

They are a bit obscure, I admit. But they can be useful.
