Are you COMPLETELY sure that /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape exists?  Can you do
an ls on it?  When you installed it, did you install it with the Debian
installer, or did you simply run the ns-install script included with it?
If you used ns-install, then it will almost definitely not be in
/usr/X11R6/bin.  It would probably be in /usr/local/netscape.

The same holds true for WordPerfect.  It does not install into
/usr/X11R6/bin either.  As root, try running 'updatedb', then (as any
user) use 'locate xwp' to search for the WordPerfect executable.  I seem
to recall having problems when I tried symlinking xwp into /usr/X11R6/bin,
so you might need to add xwp's parent directory to your path.
