Thanks for the tip about wwwoffle. I have d/led a copy and still going
through the INSTALL material.  But this just answers half of my problem
with netscape. And from my initial reading of wwwoffle, I will still
need a browser like netscape, right?

It seems like I've got a watered-down copy of netscape. Today I d/led a
new copy of netscape-common(& communicator)-4.76-1.i386.rpm from
updates.redhat.com, uninstalled my existing copy, and installed the new
copy.

Still the same problem. Any of you folks using Netscape have these same
problem?

1. No Offline category in the Edit|Preferences Menu

2. Address Book application isn't functioning as expected, i.e, I can't
delete entries in the Address Book; I can't add a new addressbook where
I can import addresses from another existing Netscape addressbook.

Question. Are the addressbooks in the same versions (4.76) of Netscape
but different platforms compatible?

I have visited Netscape's release notes but there are no mention of the
problems that I have.


Thanks in advance for any help.
