I think it was a combination of both of your scripts.  I used your 
"mozilla-remote.sh" script before I got up the courage to post to the list.  
(I haven't been on Linux long, but long enough to know that, there are very 
few people as helpful as you.  Even though, you learn the correct way to ask 
a question, Google yourself almost to death, look at the man pages, search 
forum & list archives, it's rare to get an answer to a specific question 
that is asked if it is answered at all.)  Getting back to answering your 
question.  Your reply to my post had your script for the mozilla binary, 
which is what I'm running now for netscape.  Your script is my VERY FIRST  
:-)  You mentioned there are disadvantages of calling the mozilla binary 
directly. Out of curiosity, what are they?

guenther, thanks to you;  Evolution and Netscape now work together the way 
that I want them to; I've created a shell script (yours); and not only was 
my question answered, but I've learned a little more as well.  :-)
