Good point Sue.  My co-worker Hagen Amen worked this into our NT policy
for all our public Netscape seach stations.

Wouldn't it be nice if the "Selection" feature under print worked?  You
know, when you highlight some text using click and drag, then go to Print
and you see the option to print your "selection" is there, but it's grayed
out. Anyone know of a way to make this work?

On the same note, there are utilities that allow patrons to "take notes"
while browsing....like NetPad (?), but none offer web browser integration
that I am aware.  It's like we want to give them enough to be helpful but
not offer "word processing."  Something like this would allow for cut and
paste to gather info.  It would need to be painfully obvious how to use
to be of any use though.
