public class SendButton
extends Applet
Creates an applet that displays a button on the screen. When that button is pushed, a message is sent to an AppFrame displayed elsewhere on the screen. The class of that frame is specified by the CLASSNAME parameter to the applet, and the message to send is specified by the MESSAGE parameter. For example 
  <applet CODE="SendButton.class">
    <PARAM NAME=CLASSNAME VALUE="BlockStacker.BlockStacker">
    <PARAM NAME=MESSAGE VALUE="add">
  </applet>
would send the message add to a frame of class BlockStacker.BlockStacker.

The applet uses the static methods of the AppButton class to communicate with frames of a particular class.
