    Subject: java.io.File.delete() isn't available in a signed applet?

I'm having a problem that you may be able to clear up quickly. I've got an
applet that I've signed using javakey. For the most part, it seems to work
as advertised; I can open sockets, read and write files, etc. There's only
one problem - I can't delete a local file using File.delete(). Though I can
retrieve file attributes such as length, when I'm finished and try to delete
the file, a security exception is thrown.

So far, the testing has been done in appletviewer, and the target is the new
Jave Plugin. Javakey signing is a must.

Thanks for your help,
Matt
