[LDTP-Dev] Accessing Java Applet within Firefox

[Bradford Smith]

Excellent!  Now I can see not only my little example applications, but also
the Java applet I actually need to test.  It shows up as part of the Java
Control Panel, for some reason, but I can see it with at-poke.

Thanks a bunch!

Bradford
