Netscape page loading

[Laura Quilter]

Hi, Caroline.  We did this at one of our libraries also.  You create a new
program item in Windows as normal (FILE, NEW ITEM) but in the command line
you specify the web page.  I believe you can do it something like this:
	c:\netscape\netscape.exe http://www.vendor.com/pathname/
Obviously, you would need to substitute the correct URL and DOS paths.
