Closing Applet via click exit button

[Eytch]

Can anyone tell me the code to use to close an applet by clicking an exit button within the applet. System.exit(0); does end the program.
Thanks,
Tripoli

Here is one of my complete examples, create menubar, add items to it and add actionlistaners to the items....so they work:

import java.awt.*; 
import java.awt.event.*; 
 

public class TheMenu extends Frame
{ 
  public TheMenu()
  { 
    super("Main window, select below..."); 
    setSize(300, 80); 
    setResizable(false);
    
    FileMenu fileMenu = new FileMenu(this);  
 
    MenuBar mb = new MenuBar(); 
    
    mb.add(fileMenu);  
    setMenuBar(mb); 
    
[b]    addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
    { 
      public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) { 
        exit(); 
      } 
    });
  }
   
  public void exit()
  { 
    System.out.println("Application is exiting.");
    setVisible(false);
    dispose();
    System.exit(0);
  }[/b] 
 
  public static void main(String [] args)
  { 
    TheMenu w = new TheMenu(); 
    w.setVisible(true); 
  } 
} 


class FileMenu extends Menu implements ActionListener { 
  TheMenu mw;
  public FileMenu(TheMenu m)
  { 
    super("File"); 
    mw = m; 
    
    MenuItem mi; 
    
    add(mi = new MenuItem("New entry")); 
    mi.addActionListener(this); 
    
    add(mi = new MenuItem("Find")); 
    mi.addActionListener(this); 
    
    addSeparator();
    
    [b]add(mi = new MenuItem("Exit")); 
    mi.addActionListener(this); [/b]
  } 
 
  [b]public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
  { 
    String item = e.getActionCommand(); 
    
    System.out.println("You have selected: " + item); 
    [/b]
    if (item.equals("New entry"))
    {
      CardLayoutManager c1=new CardLayoutManager();
      c1.setVisible(true);
      c1.pack();
      c1.show();
    }  
    else if (item.equals("Find"))  
    {
      FindForm c2=new FindForm();
      c2.setVisible(true);
      c2.pack();
      c2.show();
    }
    [b]else     // Hit Exit  //
    {
      mw.exit(); 
    }    [/b]
  } 
}

Those in bold is what you need. Better take a look at the whole little program.
