Vasu:

You don't exit an applet.  From the error I'd say that you have a
System.exit() call in your code.  This means terminate the VM (and if
you read the JLS they also mention that you should almost never call
this but I don't know how you'd terminate without one).

Anyway, you can't do this in applets.  It's not your VM to terminate
-- it belongs to the browser.  Other applets use it, etc.  You can do
a hide() of all your stuff or even dispose() of everything if you are
certain you are finished.

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
