Thanks to Dorothy and Ken for responding to my problem with Netscape
Communicator 4.04 freezing with encountering Java.  It seems the problem was
due to the fact that I am running the web browser under Windows NT 4.  By
changing the setting on the Control Panel for Display from True Color to a
lower setting, the Java problem seems to disappear.  The Netscape help files
finally pointed me to this solution.

Anyone have any answers to my remaining query about the problem with the NB
Compose onscreen menu running under Lingua?  See below.
