[WEB4LIB:14823] netscape about:global

[Andrew J. Mutch]

Cindy,

Check to see if your netscape.hst file is set as read-only.  If it is, it
will give you that message.  

BTW -- We keep the global:history closed to protect patron privacy.  So, 
unless you want to track where all your patrons are going, I would
recommend leaving it how it is set.
