Looks fine to me, up until this point...

I don't have Netscape installed, and if I did, it wouldn't be on C:\...
(It would probably be at /opt/netscape/bin/netscape)

I like the idea, though, and am now wishing for a decent HTML Text
Widget in Tkinter.  (I know that Gnome has one, but I'ld like to
maintain the cross-platformness of IDLE.)  Oh well, I've got some
vacation coming up, perhaps I'll build one.  ;)

Oh, yeah, and the docs are on a different place on my machine as well.

Later,
Blake.
