There is an "undocumented" new feature in the new Java-enabled WebExplorer 
beta - the support of Double Byte Character Sets, eg Chinese. Before it, IBM 
has never release an upgrade for the DBSC version of WebEx. So to see Chinese 
pages with OS/2, I had to be stuck with the age-old WebExplorer v1.00 that 
comes with Chinese Warp - buggy, no HTML3, no drag-n-drop URLs... Although 
this beta still seems unstable, at least I know that there will be an DBSC 
upgrade whenever the next upgrade for WebEx will be!

Also there's a new line in the .ini file:
	Keyring=g:\tcpip\etc\explore.kyr
What's that for? Something to do with PGP?

Oh BTW, I cannot get the Java working. Every time I try to load an applet, 
WebEx just quits. The system doesn't crash though.
