subject: Netscape & bookmark files

JV> Mark: Home Page Location
JV> I hope this is what you mean,
Nope, that ain't it. It's not the homepage I'm concerned about, it's the 
Netscape configuration and, in particular, what it loads for a bookmark 
file. Using the commandline parameter to load a specific INI file would 
solve the whole problem, *IF* the selected bookmark file were stored 
there. From what I've seen here so far, it is in the Win version, it's 
not in the OS/2 version. And nothing I've tried yet can seem to convince 
Netscape to even try to load anything other than a file named 
bookmark.htm located in the same directory as NETSCAPE.EXE. I've tried 
launching it from a different working directory. I've tried moving my 
bookmark file out of the Netscape directory and leaving one named 
bookmark.htm in the different working directory. No matter what I've 
tried so far, Netscape insists on finding a bookmark.htm in the 
program's home directory and will create a default one if it doesn't 
find one there.
