Err - you _are_ downloading it as a binary (and not a text) file?
(If in doubt, press Shift as you select file to download).

may not all be available otherwise... AFAIK):
I used apt-get to install the following:
netscape-base-45
netscape-java-45
communicator-base-45
communicator-smotif-45
OK, I think I came fairly close this time:) I copied the file to /tmp
ran dselect (the netscape set up program) here is where it ended:

I had a weird experience when installing Netscape 4.5 using
'Hamm', in that I had to rename the netscape file that I
downloaded before the install program would recognise it.
When dselect trys to configure the netscape package it
complained that it could not find the right file and gave a

You are using the mv command correctly. (You should also be able to
use cp). So that is not the problem.
The most likely cause is that you are typing in the filename
