Yes, but not very extensively.  You have the same options available to you 
that you do when setting up NS (directory buttons, etc).

Not that I know of (but I only know ->.<- much Java, so...

I doubt you could do it even then.  You could, however (if you're into 
pain), deveolp your own plug-in to recognize filetypes of *.arena and have 
it do whatever you're wanting.

Somebody flame me if I'm wrong here, but No, not with JavaScript.  Java, 
maybe...

Direct hardware control like that is not allowed in JavaScript, but what 
you can do is this:
Have the browser pop up the new URL in a window all its own and send an 
alert window to the user saying "Please click your 'print' button now."

That's one of the main problems/complaints with Marquees, they just keep 
going and going and going...  Onw way would be to have a checkbox 
(somewhere) on the page that disables the scrolling text and returns them 
to some default position.  Or just have the Marquee only scroll a (small) 
finite number of times.  It could also be a problem with the algorithm you 
are using to scroll the marquee.

Well, that's more than two cents worth, but I hope someone gained 
something...
