AOL's browser software is unique, and the problem is nothing to do with
the browser proper, but the layers of *crap* underneath it. Since there
is no Linux version of it, I don't care, anyway! (-:

As an aside, I thought that the browser integrated with the AOL *crap*
is IE anyway, the fact that AOL has bought NS notwithstanding.
