Netscape/2 tip:
--------------
Another nice tip for Netscape 2.02 is, that the program shell is actually the
shell for Netscape version 3.0, if you add the parameter " -3 " (w\out quotes)
to the Icon Objects properties, then your Netscape Browser will report to web
sites as being 3.0 compatible.
Many web sites use CGI or Java scripts to check your version level, if you have
a 3.0 version you will automatically be shown enhanced pages.

Warp v4 "undocumented" settings:
-------------------------------
SET SCUSEPRETTYCLOCK=on
- changes the "display" of the WarpCenter clock.
SET KILLFEATUREENABLED=on
- allows Ctrl+WarpCenter Task list to kill processes
SET SCFINDUTILITY=d:\os2\apps\pmseek.exe
- changes the WarpCenter "find" button to use a different utility (in
this case PMSEEK.EXE)
Do you have Warp v4 or Netscape/2 tips or tricks? Send them to us and
we'll pass them along.
