The following can be found in the Netscape.ad file that comes with Netscape, as well as on-line in their support or FAQ files (sorry, I forget exactly where). I don't think the equals signs ("=") should be there though. ! Geometry ! ! Here's how you set the default sizes and positions of the Netscape windows: ! ! For the web browser window: Netscape.Navigator.geometry: =500x700+100-0 ! For the mail reader: Netscape.Mail.geometry: =500x800+200-0 ! For the news reader: Netscape.News.geometry: =500x800+300-0 ! For the mail editor: Netscape.Composition.geometry: =400x600 ! For the bookmarks window: Netscape.Bookmarks.geometry: =300x900-0-0 ! For the address book window: Netscape.AddressBook.geometry: =300x900-300-0 ! For the download windows: Netscape.Download.geometry: =500x200-0-0 ! ! In previous versions of Netscape, we suggested setting the geometry on the ! TopLevelShell class; don't do that any more. It will affect *all* of the ! top-level Netscape windows, including bookmarks and message composition and ! so on, which is probably not what you want. ! ! To set the sizes of the panes and columns in the mail and news windows, ! change them to the layout you like, and then select "Options/Save Options". ! (To change the fonts in the message lists, search below for the resource ! that begins with "XmLGrid*fontList".) ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
