 OK...thanks for that Will. I've reverted back to Web-Navigator; to hell
 with Netscape. And if any site doesn't permit 'non-frames' they can 
 eff-off.
 I did install FixPack 6 to see if there was a stability problem/fix
 for Netscape, it didn't make any difference here so I've wiped Netscape
 ..... anyone know what's the score with 'Opera' ?

 Solved it...... by junking Netscape.
