Does anybody know if there is a way to save a list of bookmarks or a
list of newsgroups from Netscape on to a floppy disk? I appreciated if
you can help me. Thanks.....JC

In your Netscape directory, Program subdirectory, find the file
bookmark.htm for your bookmark file. The newsgroup files are in the
Netscape|Program|News subdirectory...two files: netnews.rc and
netnews.rcg

Copy to floppy. You can point Netscape to the floppy from Options|Mail &
News|Servers...set News RC to the floppy drive.

Go To Bookmarks. With that window open Click on File | Save As, and
choose your floppy drive and give the bookmark list a new name. This
will save your entire bookmark list to the floppy disk. After you
have it saved, you can edit it and save the edited version. Then,
make sure you Open your normal bookmark file again before you close
Netscape.

You can also just use File Manager or Explorer to copy the file to a
floppy, but then you can't edit the file too.
