Thanks for your reply, Richard.  IMHO - Inprise owes a large part of any
success it has with JBuilder to your efforts in supplmenting the horrible
documentation fed to developers by Sun and Inprise.  In regards to your
reply...

I'm making a client side applet (a server side applet wouldn't be worth the
trouble).  What I wanted to do was to poll a file that was being appended to
periodically and display the new information.  I have a feeling I will not be
able to do this.  Is it me, or should reading a file from a server not require
a specialized server application?Which, of course, brings us back to the "How
can I make an applet that actually do anything useful, besides display LED
signs and play hangman?" problem.  Regardless of assertions to the contrary,
much of the appeal of Java was to get around the whole browser-specific
plug-in thing, creating simple yet useful applications (applets?) that did not
need to be distributed and that were platform neutral.

Oh well, 'nuff venting...
Sincerely, though, thanks for the help you've given me, and others, in getting
as far as we have.
