Well, (re)writing zap-certficates as a wrapper for the other two 
scripts is easy,
so I will do that.  Running the script will prompt the user to delete 
the firefox
and/or mozilla certs; with an affirmative response, it will invoke the 
appropriate
"zap" script for the browser, e.g.:

athena% zap-certificates
Please answer 'y' to delete your Firefox and/or Mozilla certificates,
as prompted.

Delete Firefox certificates? y
Your Firefox certificates have been deleted.

Delete Mozilla certificates? y
Your Mozilla certificates have been deleted.

I will install this in infoagents before tonight's volume release, if 
no one
objects.

Bob
