   Actually, you can clone the whole profile, assuming that your wife has   
   her own profile.  These directions are for the upcoming Netscape 9, but   
   with amendments for profile location, can be made to work for any NS   
   version:

   By the way, it will things much clearer if we all bottom post, that is   
   post after the quoted material, not before. Look over these directions,   
   and post back with any questions.
