    I'd like to thank Wes for the 'Kiosk mode' tip.
    that is just fantastic. I'm going to use that
    tomorrow.

    I'd like to add that for this to be effective
    for browsing the initial page or site should
    have a search function available. This service
    is provided by Google (and others I'm sure) at
    this URL:
    http://www.google.com/intl/en_extra/services/
    It is quite simple if you have some experience with
    HTML.

    Here is a link to an example:
    http://www.seattleschools.org/schools/madrona/
    Just click on the "Search The Web" link on the
    left menu bar.

    >To add some consternation, you can add a "-k" command in the Target command
    >line, like ...

            "C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\netscape.exe" -k

    This will run the Web Browser in "Kiosk" mode and the Web Browser will NOT
    have any commands for changing Web Sites. The Web page is run full screen
    with no menues. You have to press Alt-F4 to exit.
