Hi Rich,

Thank you, I'll check it out, especially the "why you
probably shouldn't write applets" article.  From what
you said, I'm already hoping I don't have to.

What I am doing is writing a client GUI for a semiconductor
cell controller.  Unfortunately for me, the SEMI trade
organization has lots of standards, and one of them is
how a GUI should be arranged for semiconductor
equipment.  It's a quite rigid standard, down to the
ordering of buttons, and the exact text on them.  It also
specifies things like colored borders around everything
that is selected, and the exact color of the border.
Because of this I was assumming that I would have to
write an applet.  I guess technically it's a japplet, if I'm using
Swing instead of AWT, or at least that is my current
understanding. :-)

Thanks again for the help.

-- Larry
