Theres no harm having it in.  Newer versions of Netscape are quite
scrappy on the SGIs around here, with severe memory leaks leaving hanging
networks and machines (almost approaching the state of bogus lisps!).

Sales talk aside - it seems as if emacs is used for as much as possible &
I would love not having to setup Netscape to browse manuals.  If there is
an option to choose w3 as help-browser with CM etc., I will get gnuserv &
friends setup right.

We can imagine a instrument-building/compiling/executing-mode for CLM and
CMN, an emacs-interface akin to Capella for CM, with listings,
subgroupings etc. ordered in various buffers specialised to local tasks.
This will make an environment compatible across platforms extending the
lisp-shells lying around.  Built-in help is a first step.
