Charles,

We had the same problem with Netscape Navigator 4.0.x and IK 2.04. So I
got the free upgrade for IK 2.04, called WINSelect KIOSK 3.0, from Hyper 
Technologies, Inc. <http://www.hypertec.com/>. Now that I have it
installed and configured, it seems to be handling Navigator 4.04 okay. 
In general, KIOSK 3.0 seems easier to work with than 2.04. It also sounds 
like the latest version, WINSelect KIOSK 3.31, lets you do even more,
although I haven't tried it yet.
