Hello, everybody.
    I am in need of dire help.  I have set up XWindows and configured my =
PPP dialer in FreeBSD 2.2.2, and I just attempted to install Netscape.  =
I downloaded the gzip file from the netscape FTP site and stored it in =
the /usr directory.  I then did a=20

gzip -dc "filename" | tar -xvf -

which extracted the files.  According to the Netscape site, I was then =
supposed to type ./nl-install, but I could not find a "nl" file!  So, at =
this point, I was stuck.  I did not know what to do, so I start XWindows =
and started the "netscape" executable file.  It opened fine, but there =
were some errors when Netscape ran.  For one, everytime I pressed the =
backspace key, it would do a space forward instead of backwards.  =
Everytime I open up a new window or go to a new site, an error dialog =
box titled "Netscape: subprocess diagnostic (stdout/stderr)" would come =
up, with the following body:
       Warning:  translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: =
osfActivate
       Warning:  ... found while parsing =
'<key>osfActivate:BullentinBoardReturn()'
       Warning:  translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: =
osfCancel
       Warning:  ... found while parsing =
'<key>osfCancel:BullentinBoardReturn()'
                                                        .
                                                        .
                                                        .                =
                                       =20
                                                    "etc."
                <<stderr diagnostics have been truncated>>

Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?  Please help me - I would =
appreciate it.

Also, my XWindows resolution is way too big, which makes the fonts way =
too small, and the mouse takes forever to move.  Any ideas how to lower =
the resolution to fix this problem?
                                                       =20
                               =20
