Making Applets

To make an applet, you really need to understand AWT / Swing. It is possible to write an applet using the terminal window, but it will write to a separate console in a web browser, and not the main screen. You can see this console in:

• Netscape 4 by going to Communicator -> Tools -> Java Console
• Netscape 6 by going to Tasks -> Tools -> Java Console
• M$ Internet Explorer 5 doesn't have one.

The most basic of basic applets will look something like this:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class tknapp extends Applet
{

    public void init()
    {
				//do one-time stuff here
    }

}

Below is a sample applet:

If you are running Netscape, then look at your Java console!
