swing accessibility issue, need some help

Hello,

I have been prone to some rather odd java-problems lately, but it
appears the access bridge works for in-browser applets at least,
unless I am mistaken.
Confused yet? No? Great!
I'll elaborate.  I am doing an online tutorial on java which has
integrated applets to demonstrate some concepts. Firstly, I cannot
detect these applets using JAWS, unless my information bar security
alert goes off. Then, I can accept the running of scripts on a page,
trapping JAWS in the applet. Once in the applet though, controls are
read, I can tab between them and hit space on buttons.
NVDA is a little bit brighter in this, it shows me an ' embedded
object'  in the page where the applet is, and i can get out of an
applet by hitting n vda+ctrl+space. The same hotkey lets me back into
the applet.
Both have the same problem though. These are programs that have a
button labelled ' Run the program' , and I can see and interact with
this control. I cannot however see the result of the program that is
being run. Supposedly the result of a calculation is being printed,
but I cannot tab to it. I dont have the sourcecode for the applet
itself, just the example. But that is nothing more then a class that
runs in a console window when used properly. I hope someone can give
me a hand with this.

Thanks in advance,
Florian
