Thanks all for the replies. It doesn't help but the situation,
per se, but it is nice to know it isn't just MY system.

I'll check it again.

I'll also give this a try. Have you noticed anything else
similar to what I describe, ie, if you hit stop when in the
middle of loading a page does netscape just sit there (and
sit there and sit there) doing JACK SQUAT for a long time and
lose netscape window refreshes? Give this a try to see:
start loading a page, hit stop (does your cursor, while over
the netscape window remain a clock for a long time?), and
then either move the netscape window a little OR bring something
else, like an xterm window to the front and move it around on
top of the netscape window. Does it leave behind a blank
netscape window in its wake?
