Yes, indeed. I am trying to run it from an HTML file. I have very carefully
and repeatedly checked the Java source. I am indeed working with the applet
version of "Hello World". I spent a hsalthy chunk of time playing with
this, and hunting around for an answer. I finally found the second tutorial I
mentioned in my original posting, along with the explanation that support for
Java is buggy.

Oh, well. Like I said, wake me up when it works properly. In the meantime,
I'll continue to work with Meme to implement virtual worlds. It uses a
platform-independent byte code, just like Java, but it's been around for quite
a bit longer and is in more solid shape.
