I know that this issue has been visited on this list before, but the
solution from the archives does not seem to work for me.

I am having problems getting my telnet to work from Netscape Communicator
using win95.   
I go to the Edit menu. Select Preferences, then Navigator/Applications and
scroll down to URL:Telnet Protocol.   The default was:

	rundll32.exe url.dll,TelnetProtocolHandler %1

That did not work.  Since my Netscape is on my E drive and Windows is on my
C drive, I also tried inserting c:\windows   in front of the above line.
That did not work.

I tried to follow what is posted to web4lib on this archive:
	http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/Web4Lib/archive/9707/0457.html
 
In that case, the term.exe is also on my E drive, and I did include the
full path.  Still no success.

 The error meessage in all cases is 
	Unable to launch application.  Error code=2

Does anyone have any more  ideas?

Thanks.
