Tried all this before I posted this message. To make sure I just tried again.
No cut and Paste.
As far as version RH 7.1 with 2001-03-16-14

Just tried that too, again. Then checked agan by clicking thr Search Button
to the right of the URL line and off I went to Net Central again. There is
definitely something wrong here. if yours works.
PS This is not the only programs that do not work correctly. I have
encountered several others too but they were not of major interest, except
for XRoast, so I did not spend any time trying to figure out why. With XRoast
it acknowledges my HP RW-CD but refuses to acknowledge the Mitisibu (sp=?)
R-CD.

Don't buy that. If they are sending you to Net Central then Mozilla is
nothing but another commercial rewrite of Netscape and Netscape has a spell
checker.
