Hi,

    Thanks for the quick reply. Even though you didn't offer an anwser it is
good to know that I'm not the only one seeing this problem. After all one of
the many variables may have been how I have my environment set up!
    Unfortunately I've tried several times to submit this as a bug report ala
the "submit bug!" link near the bottom of the Sun "Bug Parade" page but with
no luck. I'm able to navigate to the bug form, fill it out, and then hit
"submit" on the bottom of the forms page. After I hit submit it returns
*immediately* with a "Sorry! We couldn't find your document. The URL you
requested could not be found on this server. If you got this URL from a book
or a reffering link, it may be outdated and has been replaced. If you provided
the URL ....". I don't know what that might mean since I didn't provide *any*
URL ... all I did was press the "submit" button. BTW, I've informed the Sun
webmaster each time this occurred. Once I got a reply with a link to try. I
tried it ... same results. I've tried submitting the bug report via Netscape
4.77 browser and the IE 6.0.2600 browser. But I diverge from the content of
this newsgroup. Thanks!
