I dug the thing up from my archives and it can be found in

	http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~rlenth/fixedpt.html

He might also be interested in javascript.html in the same directory, a simple
interactive programming environment for javascript.  I thought it was a pretty

realized that everything you did gets erased if you resize, hide/unhide, etc.
the browser window.  Maybe there's a work around.
