Les - thanks for the info.
I am now using Safari 1.0b2.

BUT

it seems that installing Safari has reset my .mac username/password 
fields, in the Internet Preferences panel.

I could not get my iDisk logon (one of the 4 tabs in this Preference) to work.

I wondered if I had forgotten my password, so I got Apple to reset my password.
I chose one with 7 characters.

I type in my username hutleytj, and then my new password (it has 7 characters).

Then I go to the Web tab, and come back to  the .mac tab, and I see 
that the old password (9 characters) is there.   I delete all fields, 
and add the correct username and password carefully.
Then I go to the EMAIL or WEB tab, come back to .Mac and the old 
password is there again !

WHERE is it coming from ?  !!!

I cannot access my iDisk, because it thinks I have the wrong password.
Somehow, my Ti-500 thinks my 9-character password should be the current one.
I have no way of changing it to the new 7-character one that Apple 
knows I have set.

Does anyone know the file that contains the 'old' password.  I could 
trash that, and start again?
I looked (using BBEdit) at several PLIST files, but could not 
determine which was which!
Can anyone advise??
