here's the example applet:
http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~jimmc/stringart/stringart.html
while experimenting, i've entered trig functions that extend the x and y beyond default
value 0 thru 1, so some kind of user-config copy of all fields would be handy for record
keeping (associating input sets with screenshots).

i tried to mouse swipe and ctrl+C (hey, it's easy to try :-) )

then tried a text search for info in http://www.ibiblio.org/java/javafaq.html
but i don't see the topic. although skimming some of the faq suggests the applet
author must provide some kind of data exporting?
if so, then "i give up"***.

thanks...

*** this is not a huge concern for me. i've been exploring various mathware, to see if
they can be fed into 3d modeling... with end goal sort of art... (i'm not a coder.. i'm
considering trying ogle where the math apps use opengl, etc)

The Subscribe.class, SubscriberRequest.class, Unsubscribe.class
have me worried because they don't show up in the src.jar.

Maybe it's just this. Whew.

Cut & paste seems to work OK from the applet; but writing to the local
filesystem would require permission, which users may understandably
decline.

Some UI alternatives: This JWS application allows C & P, but it also
uses logarithmic spinners and includes a menu of favorites:

Here, the author also accepts candidate favorites directly from the host
site:

Although this implementation uses Javascript, even an unsigned Applet
may communicate with it's originating host:

It's also possible to offer two versions: a demo that requires no
security escalation and a full featured version that does.

Finally, Andrew Thompson has an example of implementing a jnlp
PersistenceService:
