I'm glad you are getting there.

If these settings are for reading web pages, you may want to enable all 
of them. But I'm not sure if that makes any difference.

As for sending e-mail, I would suggest that you use only Unicode. Hebrew 
Windows should also work. The "visual" version is likely to cause 
problems - text may well come out backwards for some people. But on 
Windows 95 you probably don't have any keyboard support for writing 
Hebrew. Keyman, from www.tavultesoft.com, provides some of what you 
need, but only with certain applications which probably excludes Outlook 
Express 5.5. You could, however, compose mail in Word 2000 or a recent 
version of Wordpad and paste it into Outlook.
