Tom....well I tried it and I don't find it as pleasant to use as you
appear to. First off it still has cookie handling problems. I tried
two different URL's where I need to identify myself and enter a
password. KFM couldn't handle either site. Also I noticed a new
problem. When the mouse cursor gets over a link it doesn't change to
some other form of cursor to indicate the fact that it's over a place
where you can click. It didn't do that the last time I tried an earlier
version. Anyway, I think that at this time I'll stick with netscape.
But I will remember to try it out again when I get my CD with mdk 6.1 on
it and get it installed. Thanks again.
Alan
