Actually, the Java task that's "spawned" to handle the applet is a thread. If you really want to get down and dirty, you should watch the communications between netscape and the Xserver > 470 netscape.bin CALL write(0x2,0xefbf98c8,0x45) > 470 netscape.bin GIO fd 2 wrote 69 bytes > "Warning: > Cannot allocate colormap entry for default background > Then later on: > > 470 netscape.bin CALL read(0xd,0x42ec94,0x3fe) > 470 netscape.bin GIO fd 13 read 69 bytes > "Warning: > Cannot allocate colormap entry for default background What's happening here is that the netscape thread is getting (or sending?) a diagnostic message from the thread that is handling your Java app (I *think*). Shortly after this, the thread handling the Java applet is going to die (causing no Java app to show up). > P.S. At no time have I gotten this version of netscape to produce a > ``java console''... The Java console is implemented in Java.. It'll work once Java applets start working for you. Sujal
