Thanks for that, Brian.  It gets me started.

On a machine I have root access to, running RH7.3 and R 1.5.1 with
Mozilla 1.0, I get java pages to function properly.

The status bar tells me 'Done (0.591 sec)' but no message about
starting Java such as the one that Netscape gives, and no error
message about being unable to do so.

Does that indicate anything useful?


On my work machine where I don't have root access, it'll take me a lot
longer to work things out for reasons I won't bore anyone.  When I get
it to work on my own machine, I can tell those authorised what to do
to get it working on it too.
