I can confirm that € and € also work with Netscape 4.73 under
Windows 95.
However, the euro symbol seems to be the exception. In my index of HTML 4
named character entities at:
http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/demos/ent4_frame.html
Netscape 4.73 does not recognise any of the other named character entities
that correspond to decimal numbers greater than 255. (With View>Character
