Dhruva:

Netscape (and IE) call stop() when you navigate away.  I don't think you
can get rid of the frame but you can try hiding it with a setVisible()
call inside stop().  I'd pair that up with some flag to check on in the
start(), since a navigation back to that page will try to use the applet
that is loaded and not reload again from the server.

System.exit() means to close out the VM and will require the browser to
shut down to do it.  The Java VM, once loaded, stays around.
