Many thanks to

It was a syntax thing ...
eg.
netscape -remote 'openURL(file:/dir/file.html)'
I was using variations of ( or ' or " or ` or SRC='file.html' etc etc...

The question was :
> Can somebody please enlighten me on how to use the command :
> #netscape 'myURL' &
> and then ...
> #netscape -remote openURL 'anotherURL'
>
> The docs offer help and we do not have access to the Internet to visist t
he
> Web site that the online help files send you to.
>
> What I want to do is :
> Overwrite an existing netscape URL with a new URL without starting netsca
pe
> again !
> or clicking 'OK' in any dialogue box.
> (both URL's are local to my machine !!!)
>
> I think and hopes it's just a syntax thing !
