Can someone tell me how to create an applet with two text boxes. one text
box contains text in it already and by pressing a button it copies the text
to the other text box.

Regards

Check out the Java Tutorial, which tackles the basics that you need to
know FIRST before you can tackle your particular problem.

Java Tutorial is to be found on Sun's Java site java.sun.com

erm.. so you left your uni project till the last minute, and thought to
solve it by crossposting to 500 newsgroups.. ;)

you need to look up things like:

Button.actionPerformed()
TextField.getText()
TextField.setText()
