Currently there is very little in the way of explanation of the PARAMETERS for the "button.class" applet. I am in process of "ferreting out" what each does and in the meantime you can just "play" with them and see what you get.

The WIDTH defines the TOTAL WIDTH of the "span" of the buttons.
The "buttons" value = the NUMBER of buttons in the span.
The "color" value = the COLOR of the buttons.
The "parameters" beginning with the "f_" describe attributes of the FONT used for the text of the buttons.
The "font" = the type of font used.
The "label" = the TEXT label on the button.
The "link" = the HTML link to a URL.
As I have more time to experiment I will add to this description of the "parameters."

To use the "button.class" applet in a FRAMES setup see this example.

This is the HTML coding used on this page for the above "buttons." You should "copy & paste" this code into your document after uploading the "button.class" applet to your directory.
