Acrobat Reader 3.0 as a plugin

I am experimenting with Acrobat Reader 3.0 as a plugin rather 
than as a helper launched in its own window.  I find that when 
I view a PDF document in a Netscape window, a separate instance 
of the reader, with no document loaded, is also launched and 
hangs around behind the Netscape window.  Unfortunately, when I 
back-arrow out of the PDF document in Netscape, the instance of 
Acrobat Reader stays loaded and does not terminate.  

Does anyone else find this to be the case?  Can I disable the 
launch of the Acrobat Reader window without disabling the plugin?  

Thanks for the info!
