*AHEM*

I did that and now when I launch Netscape this happens (when I tell
it to go online; I have it set to prompt each time).

NETSCAPE executed an invalid instruction in
module <unknown> at 0000:00000000.

I connected offline, changed the proxy settings back to "direct to
internet", and it doesn't crash online any more. Still doesn't do
anything, though. :(

Thanks for the suggestion!
