     Thanks for your response.  The "custom.dic" file that appears on my
desktop is empty and I delete it each time only to have it appear again when
I use spell checker. This didn't use to happen.  It started about the time I
loaded Netscape 6.1, but since I didn't like what Ns6.1 was doing to other
files, I went back to Ns4.7.  Could Ns 6.1 have caused this.  Thanks for
your help.
