Dave:

Most of java.io is simply off limits from Applets, and you can't get
there from here with a URL.

One thing that might work would be a showDocument with a URL that is
built from the Applet location but doesn't have the actual html file
located.  On some web servers this gives you just a listing of the
files in that directory.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
