Hi Dennis & Sue,
You have to change file associations, and likely add
netscape to the applications list, if it isn't there
already.
Try: KDE "start">Control Center>FileBrowsing>File
Associations>text>html>in application list click "add">in
the "choose application box" type: /usr/bin/netscape
-newwindow %u (you may have to change this to suit your
version of netscape, and it's location)
Then click OK.
You can then highlight the netscape entry you just made
and move it to the top of the list of applications that
will handle html. When you click a link, netscape should
be called to open it. :)
I hope this might help a little.
All the best.
