Why don't you try the new Theorist PlugIn for Netscape. It is FREE, cross
platform and turns Netscape into a pretty funky maths tool.
The plugIn is available from www.maplesoft.com, but you need some
prewritten pages to see it running.
I have some if you want them - my address is crsma@alinga.newcastle.edu.au.
Drop me a line and I will send them to you as an attachment.

Best wishes

Steve
