    The browser supports a limited form of running compiled programs.
    To run programs that have been built, click the run button
    or select one of the run menu items in the project menu.
    You can run in the same VM or spawn a new process;
    the latter is generally better for GUI programs.
    </p><p>Both require that any classpath you set be specified 
    using platform-specific paths and path separators (the
    compiler might be more tolerant).
    Output and error streams will be
    merged into the streams of the browser (using separate
    threads, so it may take a few seconds for the pipe
    threads to gain control.) Errors should 
    be detected and displayed in a dialog.
    </p><p>
    The GUI does not support killing a running program,
    so if your program might hang,
    be sure to save your files since you may need to 
    kill the browser itself to kill its child processes.
