Hi,
Here is how I specified my URL in the Location text field
to test on my local machine:

file:/subdirectory1/subdirectory2/htmldirectory/HelloEarth.html

So I had to type the full directory path starting from the
system root directory, before specifying the actual html file to run. 

Note: My classes are stored in a subdirectory below where my html
      files exist.  For this reason, I set my CODEBASE tag in my
      html file to that full class path.

EXAMPLE HTML file:

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Java Beta HelloEarth</TITLE></HEAD>

<BODY>
<APPLET CODEBASE="/subdirectory1/subdirectory2/htmldirectory/classdirectory"
	CODE="HelloEarth.class" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=300>
</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's it for this simple test!

Finally, Roger Day (roger@ssynth.co.uk) and I have both been unsuccessful in 
running the Tumbling Duke demo so far.  The BouncingHeads demo works.  
(These demo directories are packaged under the java beta directory, under the 
demo directory.)   I am hopeful this TumblingDuke demo will run once I get
better organized with all of the versions of Netscape and Java I have been
working with (probably 90% of my problem).   

I hope this works for you.

-Jill
