This is old, but I may have some insight. I am on AOL, but I believe Prodigy
is a sister company, and besides, they may handle things similarly to AOL.
The AOL browser is actually a relative to Internet Explorer. And I, too, was
having trouble getting rid of the history. What I had to do was go into AOL
Settings/Preferences/Internet Property (WWW). That brings up a screen AOL
Internet Settings which is virtually identical to "Internet Options" in IE.
Whereas the IE Internet Options screen would show history from AOL, it was
sporadic in wiping out history. However, when I went into AOL Settings, et
al, it successfully wiped out history when I pressed "Clear History" button.
Hope that helps.
