Thanks to Paul Reavis and others for your help. I was getting the following error message:
************* 'appletviewer /usr/local/jdk1.1.5/demo/awt-1.1/lightweight/OpenlookButtons/example.html' My error message was: java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. ************* I was trying to run the appletviewer outside Xwindows. Inside Xwindows there was no "display error" message. Pretty silly actually. I did notice, while trying to solve this problem that there wasn't a '/etc/X0.hosts' file. I guess this is ok. Xwindows somehow solves the 'xwindow access permission' configuration without this file. To Paul Reavis: I plan to upgrade to Debian 2.0 eventually. Being new to Linux, however, I thought it best to get the system I have running first before trying to make improvements. Thanks again. Dennis Dixon P.O.
