Learning about applets

I've reached the part of my tutorial which looks at applet events. It gives some code and tells me to compile, load and run it. I am expecting a console to appear

and messages to be generated depending on what I do with the mouse or the keyboard. At the moment nothing is happening. Below I have included a simple

html tag followed by the code for the applet. If someone would point out what I'm doing wrong I'd be much obliged.

APPLET

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
              
public class EventTutor extends Applet {

public void init() {
    System.out.println("init event");
  }
  
  public void paint(Graphics g) {
    System.out.println("paint event");
  }
    
  public void start() {
    System.out.println("start event");
  }
 
  public void destroy() {
    System.out.println("destroy event");
  }
 
  public void update(Graphics g) {
    System.out.println("update event");
  }
  
  public boolean processMouseEvent(Event e, int x, int y) {
    System.out.println("mouseUp event");
    return true;
  }
  
  public boolean processMouseMotionEvent(Event e, int x, int y) {
    System.out.println("mouseDrag event");
        return true;
  }
  
  public void getFocus() {
    System.out.println("getFocus event");
  }
  
  public void gotFocus() {
    System.out.println("gotFocus event");
  }
  
  public void lostFocus() {
    System.out.println("lostFocus event");
  }
  
  public boolean processKeyEvent(Event e, int x) {
    System.out.println("keyDown event");
    return true;
  }
  
}

The Java Console does not appear automatically. You need to open it yourself; check the settings in the Java Control Panel.

Why? That isn't the normal thing for an applet to do.

If you really want to see the Java console (and remember, the Java console isn't a normal part of using an applet) then there should be a "Java" icon somewhere on your system's task bar when you load an applet into your browser. One of its options is to open the Java console.
