that's spot on. my messenger (off netscape 4.6) goes to find
"www.netscapeonline.co.uk/messenger/pane/index.html" when started.
easiest way for me was to plop www.netscapeonline.co.uk as a name for my
LAN web server into etc/hosts, and then drop a "white page" as
/messenger/pane/index.html on the web server.
i think i remember somebody saying that you could turn this "feature"
off somewhere in the netscape config files, but i trawled through them
and didn't find anything too obvious, hence the "seldghammer" approach i
advocate here ;)
hope this helps,
