With it set to 0 it will not keep the list. It's really unclear why this is
related.

Subject: Entering Partial URL in Communicator 4.04
Hello.
A customer of ours is asking why the communicator 4.04 we installed on her
mom's PC doesn't support the entering of partial URL's. I was caught by
surprise. I wasn't aware of any such features. She also told me that she
uses Netscape Gold 3.0 and it did support it. It works this way - you just
type "hotmail" in the GoTo field and it will direct you to www.hotmail.com .
This is confirmed by 4.04's docs saying :
To enter partial URLs
------------------------------
If you omit certain parts of a URL in the location field, Navigator
automatically completes the entry. You can
omit the following:
The prefix http://. Navigator automatically adds the necessary prefix to
complete the URL search.
The partial pathname http://www.. Navigator automatically adds the
necessary pathname to complete the
URL search.
The suffix .com; Navigator automatically adds this suffix if none is
specified.
On Windows, when you begin to type a URL in the location field, Navigator
attempts to automatically complete
the URL. As you type, Navigator checks for previously visited URLs that
match the letters you have typed and,
if a match is found, fills in the remainder of the letters. If more than one
match occurs, you can press the
down-arrow key to fill in the next matching URL.
Also on Windows, the location field offers a pop-up menu to the right of the
field. The menu contains up to 14
URLs of pages whose locations you've most recently typed into the field and
viewed. Choosing a URL item from
this menu brings the page to your screen again. The URLs are retained in the
menu for each of your Navigator
sessions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
So my question is, why is our version of Netscape not working this way ? How
do I make it work ? I've looked at the preferences menu and found nothing to
set.
Anybody have any ideas ?
Hope somebody could help me.
