[CS-FSLUG] interactive animation question

[R. Thompson]

Thanks David,

    I had the (mistaken) impression that Java animations were downloaded
onto the user's computer in order to run.  I have a few books on Java,
and I may be able to put a few questions to Nathan.

    The more I think of how I'd like this animation to run, the larger
the task seems to get.
