There are dozens of them, but not all work on all versions and all
platforms. Some are wholly in the local code for Netscape, while some
load a page from the Netscape site.

Some are:-

about:        Displays info for your Netscape version
about:authors Not in version 3.0 onwards
about:cache   Displays contents of Netscape's cache
about:global  Lists contents of the history file
about:marca   Picture of Marc Andreessen(sp?)
about:mozilla A quote from, "The Book of Mozilla"
about:plugins Lists all plugins installed

There are lots more (mostly for the Unix version) listed at:
http://wwwcn.cern.ch/~rigaut/about.html

Some are fun once but the only ones I use regularly are about:cache and
about:global.
