With applets it's "impossible" to write to a file, they are specially
designed for Internet. They have restictions so nobody can do any damage to
a computer using a applet.
If there weren't restrictions I could make a applet which deletes all files
on a computer, place it on my homepage and everyone who uses the applet have
a empty HD ;)) I hope you understand what you want to do is impossible.
If you want to write files you have to make a application.
