If you're wanting to kiosk Netscape to keep folks from closing it & you
can't get Javascript to do it, consider running a BATSH batch shell script
that reopens Netscape each time it's closed. While folks still have
access to Exit, Close, & the window to shut down the app, the app will not
stay closed for long.
If you need more info, please let me know or go to
http://193.88.86.10/kiosk/winboss/areas/filearea761.htm and download
batsh20.zip and check out the batsh help files. Caveat: This works for
Windows, not Macs.
