Thank you in advance for your report of bugs! I will try to fix the bugs as soon as possible, provided they are not bugs in the implementation of the Java virtual machine of the browser. Leave your e-mail address so that I can reach back to you if I have further questions for you related to the bugs.
Bugs can be functional ones as well as usability ones. A functional bug is one that demonstrates some unexpected results while the program is running, while a usability bug is a problem with the design of the user interface of the program. Both kinds of bugs can be reported.
Try to check the list of Known Bugs before reporting a bug.
Please include the following information in the report:
your name
and e-mail address

the applet (This can be found by pressing the ?
button on the top-right corner of the applet.)
operating system (Windows 95, Unix...)

the Java log
(if available) in case of a Java error (From
Netscape Navigator 4.0, from the Window menu (or from the Options
menu for Netscape Navigator 3.0) choose Java Console. From
Internet Explorer, you must have enabled Java logging and you
must close the browser before obtaining the log. The log is a
text file at c:\windows\java\javalog.txt (or any equivalent path).)
