3. Select Netscape Navigator 4.x.
If you have multiple versions of Navigator, you can specify the full path to the
version of Navigator that you want to use for playback.
Alternatively, you can edit your script so that it will play back in Navigator. For
example, to specify Navigator playback, type one of the following commands in
your script:
SQASetDefaultBrowser
"
Navigator
"
SQASetDefaultBrowser
"
Navigator=c:\program files\
netscape\communicator\program\netscape.exe
"
Use the first command if you have only one version of Navigator on your
computer. Use the second command if you have multiple versions of Navigator
on your computer, replacing the program path indicated with the actual path on
your computer. Be sure to insert the command before the StartBrowser
command is invoked in the script.
