Understood. Still, it works great with the applet in a test I just 
did, and I for one am definitely looking forward to using this. At 
least we need to make it *potentially* available at this point. Not 
that I want to recommend hand-editing the java.policy file, still, 
since it CAN work, let's make it available. Many users are instructors 
who would be happy to enable this on their own machines, though not 
for their general users. If there are ways of implementing it so that 
it sends a message to the user when they attempt to use it but have 
not allowed the permissions necessary, that would be ideal.
