Some explanations:
This applet first will load messages specified as MESSAGE parameters, than it
will connect to URL (if specified) and load more messages from the file or 
from the CGI output. Each line of text file or CGI output has the same format 
as message parameter value. Most of the parameters are obvious, but MESSAGE 
format needs to be explained. Messages should be enumerated from 0 to n,
without missed numbers. If any number is missed, then the applet won't search 
for the next message. Message value includes several tokens separated by "|"
character. 

"headerfontsettings|HeaderItself|messagefontsettinfs|MessageItselfHere|
URLtoOpen"

Fontsettings consists of Fontname, FontStyle and FontColor (hexadecimal value 
without radix) separated by space character.

You can use one of the following platform independent fonts: 
Dialog, InputDialog, Helvetica, Courier, TimesRoman 

Fontstyle is an integer number 0 for PLAIN, 1 for BOLD and 2 for ITALIC 
(you can use 3 for BOLDITALIC) 

"KEY" and "AUTHOR" parameters are obligatory parameters. Free version of 
applet would add link back to my site. If you want to get rid of this link, 
please follow registration instructions and register it for use at your site.
