Since getting Netscape Communicator to run as default, everything's okay
again. I use Mozilla for Web access, but Communicator for the charts, photos
(another weird problem that I don't have time to experiment with yet), and
whatever else I may find doesn't operate well with Mozilla.

I tried to follow your instructions concerning "advanced Java," but could
not find what you'd written to locate. Did download one of the themes, but
haven't had time to play with it yet.

Aha, for I decided yesterday afternoon to do this, as well as run Disk First
Aid. I downloaded 8.6.1 from the Apple site (I have the previous version,
8.6), but it wouldn't load, so I gave up and used the version that I have. I
should purchase the latest utilities program also, rather than using the
freebees (but I'm cheap!). Guess that I'm learning, though. I had Conflict
Catcher on my old 1400CS, and I liked it, though I know lots of folks deride
the program (they've talked me out of getting an updated version for the
Pismo, OS9.1).

Yeah, gave this a try also, but the result was a similar boom.
Thanks for the guidance and the offer of off-list advice. Will be in touch.
