Hi. I'm trying to write an applet which would have a JTextArea where text can be pasted from the clipboard. I've done this in a Java application using a popup menu, but what I did doesn't seem to work for applets. I did some research through google and it seems the applet has to be signed with the added pemissions for cut, copy and past capability to work. So, here is my question(s).

Can anyone please provide an easy way for me to sign the applet and also an easy way for a potential user to use the signed applet if it is served to a browser by a server? Or possibly provide another means for me to get cut, copy and paste capability. Many thanks.
