It is not very useful when run within Netscape mainly because of security restrictions for working with local files or hosts other than the one the applet is downloaded from. Nonetheless, it can be used as a Text Editor or a debugging too for CGI developers when run as an application (using the java virtual machine) or as an applet using the "appletviewer" utility.
Here is a brief description of the various button/menu options provided in this applet/application:
New - Clears the Text area for editing a new file
Open... - Provides a File Dialog for opening a local file
Save - Saves the current file
Save As... - Provides a File Dialog for saving a file locally
Read from URL - Reads the contents of a resource into the text area
(e.g. http://www.somehost.com/login.sh?User=me&Pass=in)
Write to URL - Writes the contents of the text area to a resource. This
can useful in simulating the CGI "POST" method. For
example, the above URL can be specified in the URL textedit
box and the parameters in the text area as follows:
User=me
Pass=in
Show URL - Requests the browser to process a URL
Exit - Exits the application
