Users select information from menus, which may return another menu or display a text file. An item may reside on a Gopher server you originally queried, or it may be on another Gopher server (or another host). Gopher can <quote>tunnel</quote> from one Gopher to another without the user knowing that the server and/or host machine have changed.
