Please see the for loop around line 277. It contains a syntax error, which is easy to fix. But sourcing all those files it wants to doesn't make any sence. It's trying to source directories and a README file. I will send you a patch as soon as my linux host is back. Stupid me I removed the /etc/default? directory. Send me a tar ball of that directory so I can put it back you. I will give you my netscape patch.
