I asked a question of why this other code didnt work.
I was givin this code here

Code:
public void paint(Graphics g) 
{ 
g.drawString("string",xloc,yloc); 
}
This writes directly on the applet?

So I tried to use it like this

Code:
/**Start the applet*/
  public void start() {
       paint(appletl);
  }

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString("Hi there",11,11);
}
It wont work. How do I call paint, and what is 'Graphics g'?
