If you are sure that the class name and the name of the file that 
contains it matches (e.g. "dlClient.py" contains "class
dlClient"), then I'm short on ideas. But I get 3 guesses don't I?

GUESS #2:
Maybe the browser isn't actually using the Java plugin.  Because
browsers don't come with out-of-the-box support for the JDK 1.3.1
you are using, you must make sure the plug-in is really installed
and being used. Without the plug-in, use JDK1.1.8 to compile
Jython applets.

I hope this works. I don't really have a third guess <G>
