System name:		opus
Type and version:	IP22 8.1.2
Display type:		GR3-XZ

What were you trying to do?
	See if the dash entry for WebSIS works

What's wrong:
	It didn't work properly.  It uses htmlview, which will try
	to start Mosaic if it can't load Netscape, which is silly
	in this situation.  In addition, if it loads Netscape
	successfully but then Netscape crashes it will then bring
	up Mosaic anyway.

What should have happened:
	Dash should just run Netscape to get to WebSIS.
