Steve,   To modify the Java World applet you need to modify and recompile the source java code which is supplied.  Unless you are already familiar with Java, don't even think about it until you've invested some effort in learning java first.    I've opted for another approach which is to implement an interface in HTML with heavy use of JavaScript.  You'll be absoulely amazed at the interfaces you can build with 'Dynamic HTML' in the newer Browsers (Netscape 4 and IE4 onwards) by learning a little JavaScript (which you can do from many tutorials/examples available on the web).  The HTML interface examples which come with MapXtreme for NT don't even come close to illustrating the type of sophisticated interface which you can develop in this way.   Don't be too put off by HahtTalk by-the-way - its a very standard BASIC language, and if you've any experience with VB, its a snip.   Good Luck,   Richard Burkmar Swift LG -----Original Message----- From: Steve McCrone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 January 2001 06:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Hi,   This topic is concerning MapXtreme ver 2.0 for NT.  I am trying to get started with the product but am very confused. I managed to get the Hello World and Java World samples running but I have no idea on how to start modifying the existing code to add new functionality.   Than sample apps on the web all seem to use the non-java code, since there is not "toolbar". Is there a reason for this? is the java code too tough to develop in?   I wish to take the least complicated path at this point. I really do not wish to get into learning HahtTalk, unless absolutely neccessary.   Any advice would be greatly appreciated.   Steve
