It's a rogue java applet that causes the problem, so turning off |Java does the trick. That's been my work-around as well. I notice this doesn't happen with 3.01 or 3.02. But it does with Solaris 4.04 as well though. I wonder if this is a bug in the Java implementation or a flaw in the applet. I forwarded the info onto necx for them to look into. Randall
