Java Applet Read/Write Etc..

Hi. I've got a java applet that needs to edit an XML file with data
captured via GET by javascript and then retrieved via getParameter()
etc..

The platform is a local only machine running Firefox 1, Java 1.5,
custom build of Linux.
The machine doesn't connect to any server, is not running apache and
so fourth.

The problem im running into is when my applet tries to overwrite the
currently existing file (works in XP) it crashes Firefox and doesn't
write the file.

Is there anyway that I can overwrite / delete a currently existing
file using a java applet?

Please cross-post, rather than multi-post.

Where is the file located? Applets have restricted file access.

Where is 'the' discussion thread located?
(This is a hint, based on the multi-post)
