[WEB4LIB] kiosk commands

[James Cayz]

Thomas,

Please be aware that "kiosk" mode doesn't exist in Navigator versions
4.04 and above.  It is now "kanvas" mode.  What that means is that you
can press Control-N to get a new window (with controls) and Control-O to
open any page or local file.  (I don't have the reference handy, but a
page somewhere on the Netscape site details this little-known change). 
Option -sk is the same as -k.  I discovered this little jem 2 MONTHS into
my GUI projects....

As for disabling keys without making a mess - well, that's what I am up to
doing with (at this point) 2 layers of security programs.  Needless to
say, I still have problems.

What I wouldn't give to have a version of Netscape with an INTERFACE of
3.01 (command line options, etc) with the FUNCTIONALITY of 4.05 (fixed
java, etc.)!!!!
