I'm trying to grasp apache mod_rewrite

When I add this to my .htaccess it silently (url doesnt change) shows page bob.htm

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule index.htm bob.htm


I.e. If I type this in the browser address: mydomain/test/index.htm, I get the content for page: mydomain/test/bob.htm
However if I change the .htaccess to use the full path ...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule index.htm mydomain/test/bob.htm

It redirects, but not silently. Can someone explain what's going on please.
