character @ in netscape

hello,
when I try to type the @ character in netscape it only changes the active window, the effect it's the same that press alt+tab.

it happens to me in some systems with hp-ux 10 and 11 and netscape 4.78

Spanish keyboard
LANG=C

Thanks

Hi,

you can try also an workaround - type @ in a text editor window, then copy&paste in netscape window.
If it weren't for STRESS I'd have no energy at all

Re: character @ in netscape

Hi,

in your "netscape" directory you can find a textfile named "Netscape.ad". Copy that to "/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape" (no ".ad" at the end).
Then edit it, and remove/comment-out the lines telling Netscape the meaning of "@" pressed together with "Alt" (or "Meta").
In germany we have to press "Alt-Q" to get the "@", so in our case I do have to remove four lines in there. They all instruct Netscape to "exit" when "Alt-Q" is pressed :-(
Which key-combination do you have to press to get "@"?

HTH,
Wodisch
