Jude,
I am sorry but your comments  did not come through.
Edbrowse is already on shellworld, Ken tells me.
When I run the program, it simply says ebrowse ready, and edbrowse 
www.paypal.com simply produces numbers with no content.
As I recall you know the browser, can you confirm it can be used at 
paypal?
Kare
