    Subject: How to approach the Security API

Hi and hello!

I've been searching for a long time now, on both your site and
elsewhere, to find some code examples of how to use the Security API.
I've had no luck though, so I thought I'd go directly to the source on
this one.

I need to be able to request and use permissions to access printers
and remote hosts other than the applet host. And I also need to handle
the user's policy file, so that he allows these operations. I'm going to
use the Java Activator software inside Internet Explorer to achieve 1.2
support.

Can you _please_ point me to where I can find concrete
examples/instructions, or maybe provide them yourselves?

Thanks,
