Re: a small suggestion about initial configuration

[mclos000 correu udg es]

Some time ago, boring with this problem, I found a nice
wrapper that does this job pretty well.
Here is the information in the head of the wrapper:
# NSS 1.2 - Netscape Startup Script - Wrapper for Netscape.
# Copyright (C) 1999 by Eon. Feel free to use this script.
# Email: eon@telekabel.nl
# Go to my homepage (http://users.telekabel.nl/eon) for more information,
# a changelog, and installation instructions.
I will start another window if netscape is already running, etc...
I'm very happy using it :)
See you,
Manuel Clos.
