Played with it some more, got it to work, and it looks like a diamond in
the rough!
If you cleaned this up I think you could get a modest shareware fee for it
as a T$2 alternative (it could be popular with modem users...), maybe
$15.00 US?
One suggestion would be to switch the browser to an OS-X / Greg's Browser
style 3-panel window... it's definitely easier to see WHERE you are in that
paradigm.
I volunteer to help beta-test...

I just downloaded it myself and tried it successfully. After launching,
