Ok I have Netscape Version 4.6  I found the file changed the line, saved it
and reopened the browser and Nothing.

Steve suggested I do this:

It is check and still no change.

I did and it is set for Netscape .....still it had no effect.  It is like
MSIE has taken control
and won't give it up.  :-(   I am just stumped on this one..

When I get a link in Outlook Express, in one of these emails and click it,
MSIE
opens in a small window to view it.  I had it where Netscape would go
there...
So...is communicator 4.7 ok enough now I should upgrade?  I just feel that
it isn't going to matter.  MSIE has its hand on the controls and isn't going
to
give up willingly.

Nancy...  hanging my head in defeat...
