  No, sorry. PCAOL (DOS/GEOS ver. of AOL software) does NOT sup-
port the Web feature, or even some features of AOL... (that's
right, there are areas of AOL that you CANNOT access with the
PCAOL). Don't feel to bad about that though... I can't access
the Web using my WAOL (Windows) v2 software, either. I am not
sure about the AOL areas, but I think that that IS possible as
the WAOL software v2 MAY be a bit newer than the PCAOL software.
