I can see how it could be convenient to set the page background of all the
pages from just one. Does this work in older browsers too? TIA

Yes. It's merely a shortcut to finding your background settings / image and
applying it to another page.

you should really look into using .css. with one simple file, you can make
it with notepad or FrontPage, you can control the background and the font,
the margin, the scrollbar colors, virtually anything you want from that one
single file.

As I recall, when I did the groundwork for the site a while back, I found
that some Netscape browsers wouldn't pick up the background color from the
css. Or maybe it was just in the table cells? I do specify background color
in the external style sheet, but I don't think that's enough for some of the
older browsers, esp Netscape. I think I tested it with Netscape 4.8 and
found a problem.

I found some notes I made to myself - "Set cell backgrounds in html for
Netscape and Opera." Probably doesn't apply to last version of Netscape, but
I'd like to go back further than that for viewers.

It you set the color for cell background, you will cover older versions of
NS, which do not support table background color or table border colors.

I used to worry about that. mainly the old navigators will pick up
backgrounds you spec on a cell but not on a table.
I've overcome any worries with old browsers by setting a special style sheet
link that they can't pick up. if they can't pick it up text is revealed at
the bottom of the page telling the visitor they're seeing an unformatted
version etc.
sometimes a style sheet will fail to load in a decent browser. a number of
things will cause this.
that said, it's still more than they deserve since I've seen some browser
reports and they're a very small statistic.
IMHO

But if you are selling something, then a dollar is a dollar no matter what
browser a user is using, correct?

There is really no reason to design sites that can not be seen in all
version 4 browsers and up and basically display the same.
