It's easy if you have BBEdit. If not, you should be able to do this with
any word processor that will save plain text files. I regularly save my
bookmarks on my Mac at work and transfer them to my wife's PC at home and
my other Mac at a photo lab.

Open the file "Bookmarks.html" with BBEdit. You'll find this file in the
Preferences folder in the System Folder. Save the file with the name
"Bookmarks.htm" onto a PC formatted floppy disk. Take the floppy to the
PC and copy the file into the Netscape directory Users\yourname.

You might be able to accomplish the same thing by dragging the
"Bookmarks.html" file onto a PC floppy then renaming it, but I haven't
tried that.
