Elizabeth,

I bet that FTST does not know which browser you use, but instead depends on
Windows to pick the right program. If so, then you would have to tell Windows
that you want HTM and HTML files, etc., opened by Netscape, not MSIE. Netscape
has instructions for this on their site:

Netscape:
http://home.netscape.com/download/win32_instructions.html

Netscape 6:
http://home.netscape.com/browsers/choice/set_default_win32.html?cp=ch1

Hope this helps.

John
