In the pre-beta API, is there a function that takes a URL for a text
file as a parameter, and returns the contents of the file as a String?
I'm thinking along the lines of Applet.getImage and
Applet.getAudioClip, but for text.
I've tried various combinations of URL, URLConnection, and InputStream
objects without any luck so far. I thought there might be a straight
forward method that I'm blindly overlooking.
Its ironic that its easier to figure out how to download a fully
operative sound or image than a simple text file.
Thanks,
