I don't know if it can be done with netscape 3; in case it can't, you could work around it by installing "junkbuster" on your box and using that as a web proxy. Personally, I block cookies except for the few sites that do something with them that's actually useful for me: slashdot.org, freshmeat.net, www.segfault.org, www.cyberliberties.org (all use cookies to provide "accounts") and ftpsearch.ntnu.no (uses cookies to store my preferences)). This is easily done through junkbuster's /etc/junkbuster/cookiefile .
