Hints and tips:

• Use the source for this page as a model for including applets.
• A .class object, i.e. the executable part of the applet, must be up/downloaded in BINARY mode.
• You cannot change the name of an applet. The name is part of the compiled code. If it is changed the applet cannot run.
• If an applet has a name longer than 8 characters long it must be recompiled with a shorted name before it is uploaded to the mainframe.
