Hi Mike,

That is actually quite easy. You can simply write:
TextField txt;
public void init() {
txt = new TextField();
add("Center", txt);
}
An applet is a panel with a BorderLayout. Adding the text field as the
center component will make sure that it fills the entire space of the
applet.
To move it around you first have to set the layout for the applet to
null, and then you can use:
public void init() {
setLayout(null);
txt = new TextField();
txt.reshape(10,10,100,30);
}
You should to avoid using absolute layout though.
Have fun,
