Apologies if it seemed I misunderstood. I was just puzzled and slightly
annoyed with myself, that I couldn't get it to work. I have searched
newsgroups and mozilla webpages and links for any mention of this problem,
but there seems to be a mysterious void surrounding the subject.

The file was downloaded and installed OK. as far as I could tell...? and
nothing else seemed to be happening, so I assume it is a bug. If I installed
the file from a CD I had burned NS6.1 to, the window closed as normal and no
clock cursor.

I look forward to it. I do like this browser. It's just that my spelling is
atrocious in it's raw form. I owe a debt of gratitude to whoever invented
the spell checker. And I do appreciate your suggestions.
