starting point for running Netscape Communicator. Double clicking
on this icon for the first time after Netscape Communicator has been
installed will run the New Profile Setup program in Netscape which allows
you to customize the application by adding items related to your e-mail
account, mail server. Some of these items have been pre configured
for you, while other must be entered in by you at this time. The
information that you will require to configure Netscape is on your student
information sheet that you were given at the beginning of the semester.
Below, is a screen shot of what you will see when Netscape is run for the first time along with information on what you must do to configure the program at each step. Compare the screen shots that you see on your computer with what is provided in this document and follow the instructions provided with each section.

themselves to the program so that the users default settings for e-mail
etc. are loaded. After typing your response to the profile name,
