That is where they are. This one has the files right in the directory
with the applet. One of the others stores them in a child folder.

Again, these applets worked fine for years and I haven't changed
anything. I just found out a few days ago that they aren't loading
those text files any more. The last time I'd used them, they were
working.

As mentioned in my other reply, I get a message that says "The request
is not supported"

Thanks for the suggestion. If nothing else works, I'll have to
consider that.
