As always right on the money. Thanks Admins. The solution was to include
the "export MOZILA_HOME=/NETSCAPE_PATH" I like Thomas Anders site for
checking the latest and greatest plugin:
"http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/" I got a little flame for not
reading the README file.... which I read the after the email request had
gone out.... on a totally unrelated y2k certification issue.
Thanks again.

1. You need to ensure the environmental variable MOZILLA_HOME is
set to the directory where you installed netscape.
2. Place the Java archive files (*.jar files) in
$MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes.
3. When you realize you haven't asked about plugins read the
README
file again and put the shared object libraries (*.so files) in
$MOZILLA_HOME/plugins.
##############################################################
#!/bin/csh
#
setenv MOZILLA_HOME /vol/netscape4.7
unsetenv CLASSPATH
$MOZILLA_HOME/netscape $1 $2 $3 $4 $5
###############################################################
MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape
export MOZILLA_HOME
or
setenv MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape
###############################################################
setenv MOZILLAHOME /usr/local/Netscape
...or wherever you've installed netscape.
(It's finding the ./java/classes/java40.jar file below
$MOZILLA_HOME)
###############################################################
If you read the README that comes with Netscape, then you would
know you have to add a CLASSPATH environment variable to your
environment - it must include the full pathname to every .jar
file in your <dir>/plugins directory, or something similar.
Check out the README file and you'll be all set.
################################################################
Netscape expects to find it's class files in
$MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes/*.jar. It sounds like someone else
did the installation, not you, right? It is quite likely that whoever
did decided not to install Java or removed it after installation because of
the rampant security holes. (*Not* specific to Unix, BTW, your PC is
equally subject to having arbitrary files read and written, history
uploaded, etc.)
Just extract the .jar files from the installation tarball and
drop 'em into place.
################################################################
Netscape ships with Java support (if installed correctly). Open
Windows->Tools->JavaConsole to see the version, normally
"Java 1.1.5". You may also want to check the Java plugin from
Sun
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/
for a much more standard recent java environment for your
browser.
##################################################################
java is included but you must set the environnement variable
CLASSPATH to
something like
/usr/local/lib/netscape/java/classes/java40.jar
