Thanks!  This works indeed.  I don't mind the blinking ads so much,
but downloading them clogs my line.

I've spent quite a bit of time browsing with Opera 6 now, and I
don't experience anything like this.  By and large, the features
I've been using seem to be working as well as Opera 5 or better.
One glaring bug:  Entering <Meta>+Key immediately crashes Opera 6;
<Alt> works as expected.

The idea is somewhat sickening, but maybe I should get a wheel
mouse...
