Bruce and other G-listers,

        You got it,  It was Netscape 6.2 vs. Mozilla 1.0 and 1.1,  in my 
case.  I figure that all the crap AOL piled on was at fault :-).  When I 
went up to Netscape 6 and MacOSX,  I had been using Netscape 4.77 with 
MacOs9.2.x and knew that Mozilla had gone open source.  I was (and am) 
trying to avoid any use of Microsoft products.  I had been happy with 
the older Netscape in MacOs prior to X.  I am very happy with Mozilla 
and scared of Netscape...it did teach me what kernel panic looked 
like  :-).  And,  I got to buy my very own copy of Norton Utilities to 
fix the mess.  This all happened last January so much could have 
changed.  I  carefully tried Mozilla several months after giving up on 
Netscape.  I use Mozilla for reading newsgroups and would use it for 
mail if I could find a conversion utility.

cheers,

Randy
