Four things:

First, way cool page. I love the way the middle frame floats.

Second, Netscape usually won't pick up a style from your BODY tag into the P
or other tags, so do this:

BODY,P    {
	background-image: url("/temp/images/orangebg1.jpg");
	background-color: orange;
	color: black;
	font-family:  Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-weight:  600;
}

Third, you need a semicolon after font-weight: 600 like I show above.

Fourth, don't dare stop asking questions on this list. That's what we're all
here for (to ask and to answer).

I'm so sorry to bother everyone again again but I've tried everything I
can think of.  I am coming up with some serious inconsistencies and
messed up stuff in my first attempt at making a style sheet.  It is
online at http://www.solnet-data.dk/temp/

I am working in linux with Netscape 4.73.  For me the text to the right
of my large logo shows up in the wrong font and wrong font wieght.  It
is coded inside a table but has paragraph tags.  My font family and
weight is set inside the body tags.  On my husband's IE in windows98
everything is the right font but the weight is wrong on the section to
the right.  On a friend's netscape on windows, it sounds like everything
looks fine.  Did I do something wrong?  I tried to go back and make sure
all my tags were closed and nested in the correct order and I ran it
through the w3 CSS validator.  (which told me orange wasn't a valid
color but otherwise was clean)  My tags are still in all caps, I haven't
gotten that transition done yet.

Also when setting my background image using relative links... my
netscape worked from the directory where the page is and my husband's IE
from the directory where the style sheet is.  I finally gave up and set
it from the root directory so it works in both now.  Is this a problem
with netscape for windows?  Is somehow the linux netscape buggy?

so any help would be appreciated and if you find me to be an annoying
pest and write to the list with too many questions, please tell me and I
will shut up.
