Okay.  "Delivered the applet."  That's the confusing phrase for me.  Can I have
a web page hosted on, say, an NT web server containing an APPLET element with a
URL pointing to an applet on my AS/400?  And if so, can that applet then access
my AS/400?  I'd then instantiate an AS400 object with system name "localhost",
right?
