I have a small Application that I have reworked into an Applet with some
difficulty. One of the problems that I had was as follows:

        An Application has a Frame.
        An Applet does not have a Frame. It has a DisplayItemWindow. 
        A MenuBar can only attached to a Frame.
        ==================================== 
        Therefore, an Application can have a MenuBar, but an Applet cannot
have a MenuBar.

        A Menu must be attached to a Menubar.
        ====================================
        Therefore, an Applet cannot have Menus. 

        ====================================
        Therefore, all operations launched via MenuItems must somehow be
made accessible 
        via some other means.

        
I would like to know:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. What process would be necessary, in general, for converting an
Application to an Applet?

2. What are the classes that are specifically not usable within an Applet?

Thank you,
-Shaun
