That shouldn't be too hard Jim.  But I'll have to plead guilty to not 
running netscape in several years.  That puppy isn't fully housebroke 
IMO...

Someplace in the preferences I believe there is a text gadget that 
should let you set your prefs in this regard, and IIRC they are saved 
on a "logged in user" basis.  But ns never did make that easy to find 
either.  And its one of the reasons I still run mozilla, but not for 
mail, thats kmail's job, which it does rather nicely IMO.  IE? or 
OE?, only on somebody elses winderz hardware after filing the usual 
objections.  No winderz here except the glass ones.
