Well, you were right about that, but your problem has nothing at
all to do with portability.  The byte codes in the class files
are the same, and the Java ClassLoader could certainly load a
class from another host, if it was willing to

In addition to being portable, Java also has built-in security 
mechanisms.  The security manager determines what code is allowed
to do, and the default security manager in place for applets is
very restrictive.  If it were not, then someone could place an
applet in a web page that would delete files from your hard drive,
which would certainly be unwelcome.

There are ways to allow an applet to do pretty much anything that
an application can do.  For more information, you should look into 
signing your applet.  If you have any questions on signing, I would 
recommend that you post in the "applet-issues" newsgroup.
