I did give the above a try both as a command line and in wharf, but in the
latter, it doesn't even try to bring it up and with the former, it gives
me this error message in the xterm:

[riprock@HAL riprock]$ netscape -xrm "Netscape.Navigator.geometry:
855x810+1375+22" -install &
[1] 2434
[riprock@HAL riprock]$ Warning: Shell widget "Navigator" has an invalid
geometry specification: ""
 
And, a small window pops up along with the Navigator with the message:

Netscape is unable to find the file or direcotry named:
	/home/riprock/855x810+1375+22
Check the name and try again.  (And has that small "OK" button)

Someone also suggested "-geometry ==855x810+225+20 -install &" but that
just randomly places the browser and always says:

[riprock@HAL riprock]$ netscape -geometry =855x810+225+20
-ignore-geometry-prefs -install & (this all being 1 line)
[5] 3184
[4]   Bus error               netscape -geometry =855x810+225+20 -install

This Bus error perplexes me.  And I edited my database file to have
netscape start on desk 1 as such:

Style   "netscape"      StartsOnDesk 1

Can any of you guys out there shed some light into this for me please?  I
should mention that I'm running netscape-navigator-4.06-2 and 
netscape-common-4.06-2 as well as rpms.  Also, I'm running
AfterStep-1.4.5.55N6-1.  Thank you in advance.

Steve
