we found the problem.
somehow the signedWriteFile.jar file being accessed by the web page
was corrupted. until we fix this, you'll have to temporarily download
all the files and try the example by hand locally.

the downloaded files were not corrupted.

hotjava supports signed jars as well, but follows a different
"security model". it has different security levels which you may
configure to your liking. this is done thru the:
Edit->Preferences->AppletSecurity
pulldown menus.

thanks for the information and sorry for the inconvenience,
charlie
