	No, the idea is one source file for one program.  The program may
load other classes which you may or may not have downloaded.  For
instance, I wrote an applet that creates a popup window when you move the
cursor over the main application for the first time.  I did this using a
class PopUp I wrote.  If you got the main applet class, but not the PopUp
class, it wouldn't work.  (note that there is only one source for this
applet, but it creates two class files).

	Java console has nothing to do with xconsole.  Look under the 
options (?) menu on Netscape and start it up, it'll show you what's going 
on.
