Two things:

1. In an earlier message it was stated that IE4.0 does not have a Java
console. Actually, in IE4.01 (I believe that was the 4.0 release) you can go
to View-> Internet Options->Advanced tab->Java VM and check Java console
enabled. After a browser restart, the Java Console menu item appears.
2. IE can be configured to allow applets to run outside of the sandbox. The
global "enable" can be fine-tuned. See View->Internet Options->Security
tab-> Custom radio button->Java. I would only go with Trusted Sites since
there is a danger in opening up security...
