No, you don't.

I'm guessing here, but I think that these are both being caused by the same
thing.  Netscape has this <heavy_sarcasm> wonderfull feature </heavy_sarcasm>
of keyword searching.  I'm not sure what they actually call it, but I know
what *I* call it.  I won't say here, as it's pretty much unprintable.

Go into the Preferences for Netscape, and look for an option having to do
with keyword search or keyword completion, or something along those lines. 
Once you've found it, turn it off.  If my guess was right, you should then
be able to use swat.
