ah now i have no problem with the editor. i did the following and it seems to
work now, at least it hasn't crashed at all in the last 5 days.
1) don't use it for mail or news like you suggest
2) disable java and javascript like you suggest
3) switch the 'number of connections' under the network preference menu
down from 4 to 1 and set the buffer to 16k. netscape won't hang or bomb out
any more it seems, however sometimes you have to wait for something as
you only have one connection now.
