    What happens if you don't write a Destroy method? Does everything in
    your Applet hang around forever?

    Do you properly need to write something like this to free the
    resources?

       public void destroy()
          {

          this.remove( colour );
          this.remove( download );
          this.remove( lineNumbers );
          this.remove( plainCanvas );
          prettyCanvasScroller.remove( prettyCanvas );
          this.remove( prettyCanvasScroller );
          colour = null;
          download = null;
          lineNumbers = null;
          plainCanvas = null;
          pretyCanvasScroller = null;
          prettyCanvas = null;
          }
