Thank you. Your test program worked well. I was missing "throws
AWTException" in the class declaration. I should mension that my program is
an Applet. Now the program works, but only in the debug mode. When I run it
I get the following error message when the program tries to instentiate the
robot class "robot = new Robot();"
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.awt.AWTPermission
create Robot)
            at
java.security.AccessControlcontext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java
:272)
            at
java.security.AccessCntroller.checkPermission(Accesscontroller.java:399)
            at
java.lang.SecurityManager.ckeckPermission(SecurityManager.java:545)
            at java.awt.Robot.ckeckRobotAllowed(Robot.java:119)
                :
                :

Does this mean that the only way to make my applet work is to sign it
digitally?

Regards,

Frank
