I use w98se and it doesn't want to use the internet unless I want it
to. (Or click on the wrong icon :) I personally use the "back" toolbar
option in standard windows explorer all the time. But I hate when I
am looking at a local webpage (eg on my D drive) and going
between file list and a .html file will create a new window. Even
right clicking and selecting "Open in Same Window" will swap it to
an "Internet Explorer" window.
I also use Netscape a lot since one can actually turn JavaScript off!

When did Outlook come into this discussion?

FWIW Netscape Communicator will allow more than one
newsserver.

I agree. I actually have several gigabytes of "crap" on my
harddrive... gotta get rid of it...
To bring this more on topic, I run linux 24/7 on my survpc 486. ;-)
