I down loaded NS 4.8 and it has most of the same bugs as
NS 4.75. Then I down loaded NS 7.0 and that was slow as molasses
and a huge memory hog. Buggy too.

OK Royce Mozzila is next but it don't look good because of this.

                 Mozilla 1.0.1 Released
                 Mozilla 1.0.1 is available for download
                 now. This release is a bug fix and security
                 follow-up to Mozilla 1.0. Mozilla 1.0
                 users that have not already upgraded to
                 Mozilla 1.1 are strongly encouraged to
                 upgrade to 1.0.1. Read the release notes
                 for more details.


                 Netscape 7.0 Released
                 Netscape Communications has launched
                 Netscape 7.0 the latest version of
                 Netscape's browser software, which is
                 based on Mozilla 1.0.1. Mozilla users
                 should read the release notes before
                 installing Netscape 7.

Looks like I am going to stick with NS 4.8 for the foreseeable
future.

give Opera a try.  I use it to resolve IE vs Netscape issues :-)
US$39 for the ad-free version, or free if you don't mind some ads.

Thanks Russell. 

BTW Is it not ironic that there are certain programs
out there that do a better job of moving so-called standard file
formats to other programs? Sometimes even to the same program
but a different version.

I can load an ACAD DXF file into Rhino that ACAD R12 cannot read.
I can then export it out of Rhino as an ACAD R12 DXF file that ACAD R12 can
read. Go figure. If Rhino can do it, why the hell can't ACAD?
Obviously ACAD Corp. don't want to and they are just screwing the customer
over by trying to force him to upgrade. Another CEO dirty trick.
They must have graduated from the Bill Gates University :-).
