[WEB4LIB] Netscape

Cindy, javascript functions imbedded in html pages can change the
homepage quite simply. You need to make the "prefs.js" file read-only
and specify the home page as a locked preference. Take a look at my
example file to see what I mean.

As far as resizing the window, not really sure about that. Did you
restrict the ALT-SPACEBAR menu
(Resore,Move,Size,Minimize,Maximize,Close)?
