Didn't you watch the Muppet Show? Seriously, Karl is referring to the
requirement to manually drop things into the Preferences folder--this is
something you never ever do on the Mac. I also recognize his problem with
there being a verbatim "Preferences" folder--because sloppy developers (eg.
Norton utilities) look for the name, and don't use the "return the system's
designated preferences folder" call, thus creating a "Preferences" folder
since it purportedly doesn't exist.

So putting the files into an installer would do the trick. This is what I
think Karl is referring to.

However, wouldn't it be more appropriate to register the plugin type with
(Netscape's) plugin registry, so that we can use the browser's normal
routine for downloading & installing the plugin as required. The
appropriate, required functionality ought to be there already.

Right. As it should be done.
