Hey all:

I solved my invisible window problem.  The series for creatign a 
window in a Java application (with AWT) is:

1) Create a WServer.
2) Create a Frame.
3) Map the frame 9thsi is what I missed first rime).
4) Create a window
5) Map the window.

Now, a question for the Hotjava team.  I''m going to write MUD 
extensions in Java, starting with some simplel windowing stuff.
My question is this: Is it better form to implement these as content 
handlers with a new, made-up MIME type (text/interactive or some 
such) or as an entire new protcol?  The advantage of content handlers 
is that I can still use HTML for basic text and graphic presentation, 
but I'm not sure its legal to be twisting HTML into an interactive 
protocol....

Any thoughts or suggestions?

JK
