Sorry, Dave, I wasn't clear about my context. I was referring to the code, not the end use. E.g., a "Hello, world" applet might look like this:

> import java.applet.Applet;
> import java.awt.Graphics;
>
> public class HelloWorld extends Applet {
> public void paint(Graphics g) {
> g.drawString("Hello world!", 50, 25);
> }
> }

where the same thing as an application could look like this:

> /** 
> * The HelloWorldApp class implements an application that
> * simply displays "Hello World!" to the standard output.
> */
> class HelloWorldApp {
> public static void main(String[] args) {
> System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string.
> }
> }

I'm certainly no expert here—these came out of Sun's Java tutorial, which is quite extensive,and free for the downloading.
