I asked this before, but it may have gone south with deja.com, so I try again: This worked in Netscape 5 but doesn't in Netscape 6 or Mozilla. All this relates to working offline, trying to open the browser with a file displaying, as when one clicks File | Open File and gets a file from the box. (I can get this job done online with a form and a CGI script, but that's not what I need.) My case: a TCL script (which I execute with an .exe created by Freewrap) establishes the browser with one of the two lines following, one for N5 of course, the other for N6 (and including the path would be a red herring, the PATH has taken care of that) set browserName "netscape" set browserName "netscp6" The TCL program calls a perlscript which establishes the file for the variable "$htmlFileName" as it does its work, and then calls for the browser with exec $browserName "$htmlFileName" & In N5 this loads Netscape and displays the file designated by the scalar. In N6 (or Mozilla) it opens the browser all right, but seems to go looking for the first thing it finds in the filename, as if one had pressed "Search" instead of "Go" on the location line. If online, eventually it says it can't find "C", which I take it it is taking from the path to the filename. (I've tried including the full path to the filename, but that's a red herring too, it acts no differently.) If offline it ends up with an empty window, into which I can load the file the perlscript properly created: but I want to do it in the one step, a new Navigator window into which the file is loaded. I can't use N5 or Internet Explorer because my files contain a lot of Unicode entities which neither of those browsers properly support. Bill Cadbury
