Thanks. Problem is this: now that I have a dead mozilla process in the background, netscape doesnt want to run without manual interaction (when I run netscape as that user, I'll have to manually kill a process that pops up because netscape saw a mozilla process already "running"). It's not bad, but it gets kinda messy after a while. Andrei ------------------------------------------------------------------ First there was Explorer... Then came Expedition. This summer....
