HP Java applet

[mgart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Gart, Mitch)]

OK I figured it out.  The thing that surprised me was that I thought
an applet was confined to the screen space given by the WIDTH & HEIGHT
of its APPLET tag in its HTML file.  I didn't know a PopupMenu could go
over those boundaries.  Now that I know it, a tiny applet seems like a 
really useful way to add menus to HTML pages.  There are some DHTML 
techniques for menus, but they don't look so good and have really bad 
portability problems between browsers.
