Hello, Russ.

I have got it kind of working, so that I can use the email, and the
browsing.

However, whatever you do, do not try to change the font for text that 
you already have. Crash!

Have a look in the Tools->Options menu, to configure it as best you 
can. It appears to have not much in the way of configuration.

What I would like to know, now, apart from everything else, is whether 
it will print on anything other than postscript printers, and, if so, 
how do we get it to so do?

We have an HP DeskJet 500C, that I have just got going, by fixing the 
cartridge, and while we can print to it using the RH 5.2 ascii test 
page, and from the Linux command line, Star Office appears to allow 
only postscript printing; ie, printing to postscript printers. In 
going to the printer setup in Star Office, the only printer drivers 
that are available, are all postscript printer drivers.

I have found that, if I move the mouse pointer up into the top of the 
screen, so it is pointing at empty toolbar, the nuisance boxes stop 
appearing.
