Applet Parameters

Desirable to provide initial values to an applet at the time it starts up
Use the param feature within the Applet tag
- Alternative to passing command-line arguments to Java application
- Allows same applet to exhibit different behavior from different HTML pages
```
<APPLET ...>
<PARAM NAME=ParamName VALUE=ParamValue>
</APPLET>
```
Not for receiving user-specified parameters
- Use GUI (Graphical User Interface) methods in AWT instead
- Interactions within Browser or Applet-specific windows
