Thanks for responding. At the end, I was able to get acorread to work
properly as a helper app, as you have done.  But the problem I'm having is
with the inline plugin -- it's not very stable and tends to stop very
early on in the loading process, giving me all kinds of errors, especially
if you move the page or click on the netscape window before it is done
loading. I may have to settle with running acroread as a helper app...
