That's the first question, which concerns how I see the screen - I'd like to understand how to control these things but if I can't, frankly, I don't really mind too much. The second question concerns how java applets are read: If an applet wants to present something that should more or less fill the screen, it can get the screen size from the local system and size the image accordingly. In M$ Windows, 640*480 means that a 640*480 image would fill the screen, but it seems that Linux by default returns the size of the largest screen available, and if the user is actually in a lower screen resolution he/she either would not realise that they are missing something or would have to change their resolution to see everything. Am I talking a load of codswallop? David
