Wow - thank you so much for all that, it is much appreciated. Now comes the embarrassing bit: after much fiddling around with all the settings and still nothing working, I plugged the modem jack into a different phone socket - and it worked. The…

Just in case anyone is kind enough to advise me on my System Preferences settings, here they are: The settings in the NETWORK pane are as follows: Location (drop-down menu): Automatic Show (drop-down menu): Internal Modem TCP/IP SCRE…

Thank you - that answers all my questions perfectly. Alan

Thanks for the suggestion, and it would explain why nothing happens when I try those key combos from outside the Grab program. I got my information on them from The Robin Williams Mac OS Book, which says (quote): "To use Grab:... 2. To captu…

Thanks, and how reassuring to find that the 18th century art of the folly is still alive and kicking...!

Thanks so much for all that. It pretty well answers all my questions, and I'll risk (?) running Mozilla 1.3.1.

Thanks for that. Do they have any function beyond what I discovered by randomly pressing them in turn?

"I use it as a test browser, because it represents all the poor people using 5+ year old browsers. Although the 4.8 release was somewhat recent it didn't do much and was probably developed for a major company that funded Netscape for it. Nothing re…

Maybe I should have mentioned that this is for my old Wall Street Powerbook which, if it has the capability to run OS X, will do it at a pace of which even a snail would be ashamed. And actually [can of worms time here:] I did consider OS X - I…

(Some time later Well, I've tried Opera, which does display my Paypal page after a minor hiccup, but took ages to load pages (FAR longer than Explorer) and when I tried hitting the maximise button it maximised the edges of the page off the screen…

Thanks, one and all.

Thanks yet again for your helpful comments. Not knowing anything about browsers, would you recommend Opera over Mozilla or vice-versa, and if so, why?
-
Thanks for that. At this point, much as I hate to pension it off, I'm thinking I ought to start considering my old Powerbook as a spare external hard drive. Thanks again. Alan

Thanks - I suspected as much! Alan

"Trying using the OS9 version of Opera, or mozilla. You can find them in a google search i'm sure." Thanks - do Opera or Mozilla work with both OS 9 and OS X?
-
Thanks, though ideally I'd have a browser that worked (in different variants) on OS 9 and OS X, as I don't fancy running two different browsers on my two Macs. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for your charge card suggestion - it was spot on. I've just got my PowerBook back and the dealer confirmed that the charge card had indeed become disconnected.
