Kill an applet from within

[PC888]

I have an applet using ActionListener.

To exit from the applet, I tried System.exit(0), but it does not do anything.

Could someone please enlighten me if there are other methods I should be using, or how I can stop the running threads so that System.exit() can do its work?

What do you expect by exiting the applet?

Cheers,
Dian

Actually, stop executing the applet, and if it is executed from a web-browser, return to the previous page. Loosely speaking, the equivalent of System.exit() in a normal Java program.
If the behaviour is different between a local execution and a web applet, I would like to know what to do in both cases.
