Dear Doug,

I guess your problem has nothing to do with ARP/wARP (slightly
misleading subject line ...). And my second guess is that you're using
an 'officially unsupported browser'. At this moment the only
officially supported browsers are the Netscape 4.X series (later 4.7X
or 4.8X) - which don't come as default on RH8 systems. I've
encountered serious problems in the "SHARP Input Editor" with other
browsers too, so Mozilla is just not 'good enough'.

The problem is, that this "SHARP Input Editor" uses a lot of
JavaScript, and the JavaScript implementation is VERY different
between various browsers (and even between different OSs within the
same browser). So writing browser independent JavaScript is
non-trivial.

I would recommend installing the latest netscape RPM for your
system. See for example

  http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialNetscapeNavigator.html

    - or -

  http://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/english/4.8/unix/

But maybe this problem is not related to the netscape version you are
using?

Cheers

Clemens
