Downloading and installing NS 7.2 sounds easy enough (uninstall 4.5
and
install 7.2), but I'm not sure about the "and convert the existing NS
4.5 profile to NS 7.2 use." It sounds like there's more for me to do
than to just think that this happens automatically. What are the steps
to do this?

When you first install NS 7.2, and run it for the first time, it will
look for a profile. If it finds none in the 7.2 profile location, it
will look in the Communicator profile location. If it finds a
Communicator profile, and it will, it will offer to convert the profile
for 7.2's use.
All your data, your mail, your bookmarks, etc., will be copied and
converted to a format that NS 7.2 can understand. SeaMonkey 1.1.18 can
also use this profile.
Leave NC 4.5 installed for now. Install 7.2 and run it, allowing it to
convert your profile. Open 7.2 and verify that the data is there. Then
you transfer this profile to the new machine. Install 7.2 on the new
machine, and point it to the profile you have moved. I can point you to
directions on how to do this.
Once you are sure you no longer need the data in the old NC 4.5
profile,
you can uninstall 4.5.

I wasn't able to download 7.2 from the "releases" page. But I did locate
a NS 7.1 CD. Is this version O.K.?
Ed
For this purpose, sure, it will do the same profile conversion that 7.2
will do.
So the Win95 machine has a cd drive? Great!
Lee
Yes, but unfortunately, it doesn't burn.
Ed
Well, you're right as usual! NS 7.1 is installed and all the mail &
addresses are there - in spite of the fact that the readme file stated
requirements of Win 98 or higher, 64 MB RAM & 233 MZ or faster - all of
which I do not meet. Thanks, I would have given up at that point.
So, is there any better way of transferring the Profiles folder to the
laptop than by copying it to a couple of floppy discs, recopying it to a
CD-RW disc and installing in the Profiles folder of Seamonkey?
Is there a way to determine which Profiles folder applies to NS 7.1?
When I open it up, they both look alike.
If size is a constraint, could I just copy the Mail folder to a floppy?
