: Hi,
: I've been writing Java stand-alone programs

: client.
: I would appreciate it if someone could give
: me some help on where to start.
: Thanks in advance.

Stephen Saunders is going to have lots to say on this topic, I'm sure, but I'll offer my two cents here. Really, what you are going to do is not write an applet. You're going to write a *servlet*. Now, servlet writing can be kind of tricky because, generally, you need some sort of runner application to run the servlet for you (kind of like an interface). In a lot of cases, just getting the runner to run properly can be a chore in itself. What server are you using? Have you installed the jdk on it?
I would suggest taking a look at the java SDK (servlet development kit) available from Sun. You might also want to take a look at devedge, Netscape's developer site. They have lots of good information on servlet writing.
Stephen?? :)
