Regarding Java applets that run from remote sites but not the local disk.
1. Try running it with appletviewer (assuming Beta applets) instsad of
Netscape
2. If it works from appletviewer but not from Netscape, try accessing the
local disk file with an ghttp:" URL instsad of a "file:" URL. This solved my
problems.
Let me know if this works,

Yes, indeed. I am trying to run it from an HTML file. I have very caessully
and repeatedly checked the Java source. I am indeed working with the applet
version of "Hello World". I spent s msalthy 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.
