+
+The Javascript fragment returned by this function (no E<lt>scriptE<gt> tag)
+must be written to the HTML page once. It will prove the Javascript
+function "change(name, content)". Calling the change function with the
+name of the section

+the new content you want to put in there, will put the content into
+that area.
+
+B<Note>: Netscape 4 only reserves enough space for the changable area
+to contain room for the original contents. You need to "make space"
+for whatever changes you wish to make, and be B<sure> to check your
+code in Netscape 4. This feature in Netscape 4 is B<not> powerful;
+it's adequate for updating a one-line status display, but little more.
+This script will set the space to 100% width, so you only need to
+worry about height in Netscape 4.
