Are you using Netscape 4.7x? That's old... I use Mozilla and plugger (http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html). In plugger config (pluggerrc I believe) you can specify which apps to use when opening PDF file. I think even the default is to use acroread. So if you use plugger as a plugin in Mozilla, when you open PDF file, plugger will run acroread, and make it display Acroread on the browser windows. It's actually quite nice, I think. Plugger comes with RH 7.3. Don't know about RH 9, but there should be RPM for it. RDB -- Reuben D.
