My instruction assumed you you might want flexibility.

The really simple answer would have been:

   Type the full path:  /usr/local/netscape/netscape &

The next most simple, add this to your ~/.bashrc:

   alias ns="/usr/local/netscape/netscape &"

then:
 
   source ~/.bashrc  (or, start a new xterm), and type:

   ns

Pierre
