This bug is fixed in 1.1.7 which is scheduled to ship in Sept 98. (roughly)

There were two things that we prevented even signed applets from doing:
deleting files, and accessing the AWT event queue. We were being
overly cautious. Those restrictions are lifted so that signed applets
can do them, as of 1.1.7.
