Clearing Netscape Memory Cache

[Bob Jones]

We're still thrashing about trying to figure out how to clear both memory
cache (particularly) and disk cache in Netscape between users to erase
logons, and otherwise assure privacy.  Netscape is always loaded with our
Home Page as the initial focus.  The workstations are locked down with
IKIOSK and FORTRES. We want the process to be transparent or easy without
going through the dropdown menus (special knowledge or skills). 

1.  Would it be possible to use JavaScript on a special version of a web
page that would activate Netscape's own clear cache features automatically
after loading/reloading that page?  I don't know the capabilities and/or
limitations of JavaScript. 

2.  Which DLL(s) actually do the cache erasing functions in Netscape?  
Perhaps we could offer a selection to run those DLLs just like we run CD 
apps.

3.  Any other suggestions?

Thanks for any help.
