Java is designed to be safe and not allow access to client devices. There is a mechanism where you can attempt to ask for permission from Java but it looked complex to me and I doubt many browsers will cooperate. They have often locked security down to prevent this sort of access. Neil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
