Hello,

          The reason that you cannot access local files is for security 
reasons.  If you could access local files; then what would stop an 
applet running the (Jython) command :

os.remove("kernal32.dll")

    As the previous responder stated, you will need to understand the 
java security model, beneath is a link to the Java Security Tutorial :

    I know that it is a pain the the arse to deal with but imagine what 
a disaster it would be if the security wasn't there!

Cheers,

Neil
