Greg:

You need to work with InputStreams instead of File based classes that
implement the security manager (and hence get killed in Applets). 
You're already on the right track, but after you create your URL try
something like:

InputStream iStr = myConfigFile.openStream();

and then work with the read mechanisms off of InputStream.
