All,

	I had numerous problems with Netscape 2.1 so recently I upgraded to 3.1
in
hope that some of them would "go away".  Unfortunately, they're still
here....
I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.  Few of the features that do not work that are
sort of aggrevating are:

	net search button
	backspace - does not work, although CTRL-H does
	text paste

Text pasting and clicking on the net search button both kill netscape
and cause a
core dump.  Also, I often get an error stating that Netscape cannot send
mail because
it's out of memory although I have plenty of disk space available.  I've
read through
the README file and thought I did everything it said to... evidently
I've missed something though.  I would very much apprecitate any
assistance with getting any/all
of the above to work correctly.  Btw, I'm not too terribly familar with
FreeBSD/UNIX
so please be as specific as possible.

Thanks!

	Tom
