[ProgSoc] Getting Netscape 4 profiles to work at startup

[Jedd <jedd@nospam.progsoc.uts.edu.au>]

 Howdi,

 I didn't do the nerdity test . . but I am wondering if anyone has
 managed to get the profiles under Netscape 4 to work.  Well,
 rather, it's the command-line parameter to select a particular
 profile at startup, that's got me stumped.  I've followed the
 documentation, I've checked out the FAQ's on their site, and
 I'm still not getting it working.  This is under Win95, btw, and
 version 4.04 of Communicator.

 Ostensibly you use the    -P <profilename>   - and it'll run
 up the specified profile.  I've tried putting the -P jedd in
 quotes, without quotes, with quotes around "jedd", with
 the quotes around the entire "c:/program files/navigator/... -P jedd"
 construct, etc - and all it does is fail in different (and
 rarely humorous) ways.  I started to think it was the space
 in the directory name 'program files' - but it's the default
 location for install .. and I'm *sure* they tested that thoroughly.

 Once I get that working.. (my bookmark files reside on a
 samba mountpoint on a linux box), I want to try getting it
 working on the linux version of netscape .. has anyone
 had any problems with sharing bookmark.htm files between
 the two operating systems - specifically ^M's at the end of
 lines, etc, are a potential concern - as well as concurrent
 access of the bookmark files?

 Jedd.
