I RESTORED THE ABOOK.NAB FROM A RECENT BACKUP TO NO AVAIL. I DID NOT KNOW
WHAT THE PREFS.JS FILE WAS AND WAS AFRAID TO DO SO. DOES THIS HAVE TO DO
WITH PREFERENCES? IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES PREFERENCES ARE ALL I CAN
IMAGINE THAT WOULD DO THIS. I THINK I SHOULD RESTORE PREFS.JP AND SEE
WHAT HAPPENS. I THOUGHT IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE PREFERENCE FILE.
I WAS JUST CLICKING AWAY AND NOT DOING ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WHEN
IT OCCURRED. MUST BE COSMIC RAYS. I COULD FIND NO PREFERENCES THAT
SEEMED TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS. I'LL RESTORE THE FILE AND SEE.

I'M NOT SURE HOW TO CHECK SYSTEM FLAGS. I EMAILED NETSCAPE SUPPORT AND
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO REPLY WITHIN 24 HRS. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THEY
SAY.
