Paul,
A few questions about running Netscape as the shell:
If you run Netscape as the shell, are you still able to send print jobs to
a network printer?  Are you still able to run Acrobat to read PDF files?
Can a patron still see what is on the hard drive by typing c:/ in the
location line of Netscape?
Thanks in advance.
