You may have a filename problem.  Win 95 shares only allow 8.3 filenames
(despite the fact Win 95 itself supports LFNs).  If Netscape tries to
save a file to such a drive (FAT under OS/2 will exhibit this too), then
it will abort with an error message.
Solutions:
1.  Save on a HPFS drive or network that supports LFNs (OS/2, NT,
Samba).
2.  Rename the file to an 8.3 name before saving it.
