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 

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()'
                                                        .
                                                        .
                                                        .                                                        
                                                    "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?
