Well, that last depends upon the operating system hosting the broswer;
for instance, under eComStation <http://www.ecomstation.com> one needs to
tick "Use HOSTS file first" in the TCP/IP properties.  Same goes for most
other proper operating systems.

   fix (vb.): 1. to paper over, obscure, hide from public view; 2. to
   work around, in a way that produces unintended consequences that are
   worse than the original problem.  Usage: "Windows ME fixes many of the
   shortcomings of Windows 98 SE".
