Hi,
I know that the problems that I had initially we're that the "case" needed
to match on the filename and the classname, so "class Helloworld" in
filename "helloworld.java" wouldn't fly.
Also, make sure that your classpath variable is set
and, I've seen lots of people use the "codebase" tag in Netscape.
