Thanks for the navigating tips Martin - I was actually trying to figure 
out how to go back and forth easily amongst pages visited recently which 
is what I had always used IE's "go" menu item for...I am now using tabs 
and holding down the Back button (which I had never had to do previously) 
and it is working out well.

This was very useful info Martin - thanks!  I dragged everything over 
from Explorer which had been my default browser - I would never have 
known why things weren't working right if you hadn't mentioned this! 
Also, thanks for the memory tip - I never know how much memory to give 
applications!

I set iCab to resemble Netscape because of a couple of sites that have 
never responded well to Mac's version of IE - but I find the layout on 
one of these is really weird now - one third of the screen is empty and I 
have to scroll heavily to the right.  If I set iCab to resemble iCab, it 
starts out correctly layed out and then suddenly reverts to the weird 
layout.

This is the one I have.

Helps alot! I am having one more problem that someone might have an 
answer to.  I had set my internet control panel/web/ default browser to 
iCab but when I started up I got an alert saying the application cannot 
be found.  This is because the Browse alias is in my startup folder and I 
guess it still hasn't gotten the news.  I put an alias of iCab in there 
instead but am wondering how I can get the message across to Browse in 
any other way than to set the internet control panel as I have done.
