Thanks for the response, John.

Is version 3.2.3 written in Java? I know the 9i version is, but (strangely) it seems to run somewhat better than 3.2.3, albeit still not at all well. I'm only persisting with the older version because the book I'm working from as I learn is written for 3.2, and I don't want to needlessly confuse myself.

Since I have the free download of both these products, I'm not sure I'm entitled to any patches, but if I were, where would I find them? I haven't seen anything of the sort in my wanderings in Oracle's world...

I have a more specific problem, maybe more easily solved: When testing a JSP from the IDE, my browser will not start up to display the results. I can find, in the generated HTML directory, a "WebRunner" (or some such) html doc, which, when manually opened, executes the JSP and displays the expected result, but this is a pain.  In JD 9i, I found a place to specify the browser path (supposedly only required for non-default browsers), and setting this helps 9i do the right thing. I can't find a similar setting in 3.2.3. Any hints?

Thanks again!
