I added this to my (growing rapidly! :-)) "answers" directory. I'll tackle it your way this weekend just for fun. The way I installed Mozilla1 before worked though, and it's still working. Galeon? I don' need no steenkin' Galeon. ;-) But I'll probably download the source and try tearing it apart just to see what's what. I'll have to see how to do a "side by each" comparison that makes sense though. Disk space isn't in short supply after all. <grin> -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org No modern woman with a grain of sense ever sends little notes to an unmarried man -- not until she is married, anyway. -- Arthur Binstead
