Most browsers aren't written in Java and so their "File", "Send", etc.,
buttons aren't accessible by standard Java APIs.

In the case of a browser written in Java, you're still OK, since
an applet's execution environment is constrained and it generally
doesn't have access to objects belonging to system classes. It
has access only insofar as there is a public API.

For more info on the Java security model, see http://java.sun.com/security
and http://java.sun.com/sfaq
