      Subject: AppletContext

      The current AppletContext interface does not provide any information
      about the graphical context in which the applet is running.
      Specifically, I'd like to know what the current Font is. I need
      to write an applet that looks similar to an ordinary hyperlink, but
      acts differently. Instead of linking to a new URL, the applet will
      send a message to another application via a socket. The applet would
      blend into the surrounding text, but would be highlighted in a different
      color than that used for hyperlinks.

      Is this possible and if not could it be added to the AppletContext in
      a future release?
