Run the REXX program I sent with the correct directory.  If the entry
already exists, it won't matter.  If it doesn't, then it'll be added.

The INI format allows for application, key, and value.  The application is
"Netscape", but there are three possible keys - "2.02", "4.0", and "4.6".

The key value is the full path to the base Netscape directory.
