As far as getting some buttons on one line, and others on another.  I would
use a GridLayout instead of a FlowLayout.  To get the buttons to look right,
add them to a Panel first, then add the Panel to the layout.  Try the same
thing as far as getting the stuff to appear in the applet.
Hope this helps,
Matt
