Peter, I was testing with, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20021120 Netscape/7.01, build 2002112016 They may have fixed the problem now then, I will check with a new download of netscape. The file:// business is OK for Mozilla. I did not update the netscape one, because the original code had always worked with Netscape 4.x (still used on Solaris I think). I was going to add a Netscape7 bit of code, to deal with it on its own, so as to keep netscape 4.x stuff as it was. Too many browsers, too many versions!

So, a new browser is never started. Steve, I run 7.1 under Linux and that command does return with a bad status (2) when no browser is running and succeeds (0) otherwise. So just for interest (since that's probably the real issue, other than the file:// business) what versions/OSes are you running. Cheers, Peter.
