Unable to Get Picture to Appear in Applet upon Running

[vajrapani]

According to my text, this example should show a picture of a smile in the upper left corner. However when I run the Applet, the picture doesn't show. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Image smile; // declare an Image Object

g.drawImage(smile,10,10,this);
setBackground(Color.yellow);

picture is painted then we setBackground, must happen other way probably.

Set background, draw picture. Should happen that way anyway.
