Ahhh, I also have a screenshot of that, circa 1992-3. :-)
Please find enclosed, a Gopher home page, which also has a link to 
that gem of a tool called Wide Area Information Server (WAIS).
Gopher home was at gopher.umn.edu (University of Minnesota). You could 
either type the number you wanted to select, or if you were lucky 
enough to have a VT100 (or compatible) terminal, you could use the 
arrow keys to navigate.
Okay, enough nostalgia...
