hi jon,
as far as i know both netscapes can be on your system at the same time. there 
is no upgrade method, but you could install netscape 6, import your mail and 
address book from netscape 4.7? and then delete it. also , having tried 
netscape 6.01 (and various mozzillas), i wouldnt recomend it. it is still 
very buggy and tends to crash a lot ( also tends to be a bit slower). 
netscape 6 , installs by default to /usr/local/netscape
