The instruction file is specified in the calling html file as an applet parameter:  


PARAM NAME="HTMLFile" VALUE=" http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Horizon/5382/ScrollParam.txt"

The decision whether to incorporate the applet within the browser window or in an external frame is also an applet parameter:  


PARAM NAME="SeparateFrame" VALUE="YES" or "NO"

The format for the rendering instructions are as follows (values which are to be entered by the designer are shown underlined):  

Set frame size (mandatory, must be the first line in the file):  
\Frame Size|width|height  

Set background color (mandatory, must be the second line in the file):  
\Background Color|color
