Use <input type="submit" name="PBUTTON" value="Sign In"> instead.

Exactly. So use <input ...> instead.
It's not just AOL EXPLORER. It's also Internet Explorer that has a
completely broken implementation of <button>.
On the other hand, don't rely on getting the name=value pair even when
using <input ...>. You don't need it if you have just one submit button.
And if you have multiple submit buttons, things are rather unpredictable
when someone submits the form by pressing Enter in a text input field.
