Thank your for all the suggestions on using equations in HTML! Looks like 
we'll have to do them as gifs for now, until the arrival of HTML 3.0.

A second, unrelated question. There has been much discussion of 
configuring Netscape for public terminal use. Out library has accessed 
the demo put together by the Berkeley folk on doing this with Res Edit, 
but we still haven't figured out how to get Netscape to automatically 
return to the home page after a certain amount of inactivity. I've 
attached our automation person's exact message. Once again, any help is 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks for passing on that information about "refresh"  The problem is it
just doesn't do what we need.

Could you please post to the listserv asking for a solution it one exists.

The problem is this.  

We would like to have Netscape return to the HOME page after a given time of
inactivity.  This would work in a similar way as Screen Savers.  Is there
any way within Netscape to do this, or is there any software which would
launch a program or macro rather than a screen saver.

Thanks.
