I eliminated junk output from browser that looked ugly and interacted poorly

with DrScheme's IO.

I also fixed the way ports are closed so netscape on ccs.neu.edu works.

; spawned does _not_ close the browser's ports since they are copied when the subprocess
; loads. Blech.
; All this is necessary because system administrators replace netscape with a funny
; perl/zsh/whatever script that prints out extra crud or does weird, system dependent
; setup stuff before launching the original browser executable.
