   In NS8:   
      
   Tools>>Options>>Privacy>>Cookies   
      
   Where it says Keep cookies, there is a dropdown.  Select Until Netscape   
   closes, this will delete all cookies when NS is shut down, therefore, a   
   session cookie.   
      
   Addons like Roboform cannot be added right now.  I assume it will be   
   taken care of when the browser reached a release form.   
      
   Then again, I don't know where Dan is getting his information about this   
   browser being intended for AOL only. If he is right, and I have no   
   reason to doubt him, this may all be academic.   
      
   What I wonder about is, why make a general beta release, if this is   
   going to become AOL proprietary?  If it is, most of us might as well   
   stop bothering with the test.   
      
   You can access AOL email with a standard email client via an imap   
   configuration, or by using Freepops as a proxy to create a pop account.
