Hi Tom;

The text paste problem may be because you do not have Motif (I assume) on your
system. You need to follow the instructions in the REAME file regarding the
file XKeysymDB. If your distribution of Netscape does not have this then get
the equiv. Linux dist and extract this file from there. XKeysymDB normally lives
in /usr/lib/X11. There may be one there now but not up to the task. If so make
sure you save it somewhere.

The other problems are probably caused by the lack of this file also.

Cheers pfb;
