Hi Oliver,

For the record here:
Earlier, I gave it a possibility of using java Runtime.
and making it an application.
Trying to do it with only one icon was possible,
but after thinking about it (there would not be
a Start and a Stop buttons). So I gave these buttons
and put it into a jar, a x.cmd to launch the jar, a single
icon to launch the cmd file.

Thanks for your suggestions. Will consider them.

Below is my program.

bH

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

/* This framed java Runtime program gets 4 IE
* browser pages each with specific url
* addresses. It is advised to connect to
* the internet before pressing the "Go"
* button. Once the Go button is pressed
* the four IE pages are made.
*
* ImageIcons are used here along with
* abstract html text for another button
* for a virtual key demo.

* To make this a more single key operation on
* startup, the program is placed into a jar,
* then a desktop icon is made for easy
* execution.
*
