   Doesn't look like I have.   
      
   How do I do it?  For Netscape 8, I mean.

   I tried that, with following result:   
      
   After Search, the only  profile that came up was marked Default,   
   and it was for Netscape 7.1.   
      
   I clicked on it, but didn't get any icon for Version 8 Profile   
   Manager.   
      
   ???   
      
   Thanks for any help.
