Override the update(Graphics g) method.  It's called whenever you
ask for an update with the ... hmm, is it repaint() method?  Anyway,
thge defaul;t implementation of update(Graphics g) is to clear the
background and call the paint(Graphics g) method.

paint(Graphics g) is called whenever the applet scrolls into view, or,
the entire window is painted because it's exposed, etc.
