I have completely wiped all the Mandrake-specific stuff for Netscape
from the system, including the shell script that once resided at
/usr/bin/netscape, because I could not upgrade to the 128-bit version
of Netscape and use that script without reprogramming and I'm no
programmer.
I have no scripts of any kind, and the NS files are all installed in
the default NS-Install directory of /opt/netscape. To make my life
easier and avoid adding to my already lengthy PATH, I made a link to
Netscape at /usr/bin/netscape. Now, the program works just as before,
but it will often kill extra windows.
I have tried to use the File-Close command, rather than the Close
widget, and it doesn't matter. About half of the time, when I close
one window, all of them close.
When does Opera come out? :-)
