[WEB4LIB] Netscape:deleting short history list at location bar

[Andrew I. Mutch]

Mary,

If you are running the newest versions of Netscape 4.08 - Under Edit
- Preferences - there is a button at the bottom of the first menu that
will allow you to clear the location bar.  If not, you have to try this:

This is a page I put together that describes how to clear the location bar
in Netscape version 4.x:

http://tln.lib.mi.us/~nort/tech/location.htm

If that still doesn't help - it requires editing the prefs.js file - or,
if you are using an earlier version of Netscape, you'll have to go into
the Registry to clean things out - this even occasionally happens with
Netscape 4.x.  There is a link to the Netscape Knowledge Base page at the
bottom of the page listed above but for convenience, the URL for that page
is:

http://help.netscape.com/kb/client/961024-3.html

Let me know if that helps.
