Chris,

Thanks for the feedback.

Hmmm ... looks like a browser (or jvm implementation) bug. I couldn't
write outside the applet boundaries if I tried to do it :-)

Have had a lot of problems on Mac ... particularly graphics problems ...
though I have never seen this one.  That is why I asked you to test it
out with your Mac; we don't have very many datapoints yet.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Good.

Several other people have expressed interest in this.

As I said, several other people have expressed an interest in this type of
thing. So I suspect that we can get it done.

If this is an area where you have expertise and/or interest then we would
love to get your input and assistance.
