  Product:           Netscape Navigator
  Operating system:  Windows

In order to find the NETSCAPE.INI file which it will use, the Netscape
Navigator checks, in order:

the "-I pathname\file.ini" command-line option
the "INI=" entry in the "[Netscape]" section of WIN.INI
the directory that NETSCAPE.EXE is being run from
the directory where Windows is installed

If the .INI file is found by the third or fourth methods above, then
Netscape will update its part of your WIN.INI file to reflect where
the file was found.  Therefore if you want to know what .INI file your
copy of Netscape is using, you can always check WIN.INI to find out.

The "-i pathname\file.ini" command-line option will let you start up
the Navigator with a specific NETSCAPE.INI file.  For example, if you
want to start up the Navigator with "F:\USERS\JOHN\NETSCAPE.INI" and
ignore any other NETSCAPE.INI file it finds, then use this as the
command line (in the "Run" option under the "File" menu, or in a
Program Manager icon's command line setting):

    NETSCAPE.EXE -I F:\USERS\JOHN\NETSCAPE.INI

Generally, the best place for you to keep your NETSCAPE.INI file is in
the same directory which NETSCAPE.EXE is in.  That way, if you ever
move this directory, Netscape will still be able to find its .INI file
without requiring any editing of WIN.INI on your part.
