All the Applet stuff seems to be missing in action.

For example there is no java.awt.Panel, java.awt.TextArea, or java.awt.ScrollPane.

I don't think iRex realizes how much easier it would be to port Java applets to the iLiad than all those X Windows apps. My guess is that they wanted the smallest target.img they could get away with.

It may be to make this thing really useful we may have to come up with an applet environment. Which could very likely have the iLiad stuff built in and thus allow running stock Java applets.
