Summary: Netscape communicator question

I received two replies to my question. I already had what was mentioned in the
reply. but when I was looking at patch 105790-20, as mentioned by Michael, I
found that 105790-21 was out, so just decided to try it out on one workstation
and it worked.

so the solution was to apply 105790-21.

thanks,
Sandeep
