Ok... That makes sense. Thanks for the answer. > Question #2: Alas, Netscape Communicator is a *bloated pig* of a > program. Humm...... Perhaps I will downgrade to a lower version number of netscape. It seems that every level ( at least in the windows world) has gottin a little bit bigger and a little bit slower. I have a couple of other browsers that were automaticlly installed when I installed debian, like gzilla and areana but they don't seem to be ready for prime time. They seem consistantly die about 2 minutes after I start using them. Too bad really as I kind of like gzilla. Pity the lynx people have resisted putting out a graphical version. Their browser remains stable and fast and they probably would do a good job of it.
