We currently support multiple AppContexts/EventQueues in 1.2, but there's no

EVALUATION Added a dispose() method to AppContext which disposes of the AppContext's top-level Frames, interrupts & stops all of its Threads, and destroys its ThreadGroup. Updated appletviewer to call it to process its internal APPLET_QUIT message. fred.ecks@Eng 1998-08-02
