So, I've been playing around a little this afternoon and have done a few things. The applet now has a simple 'Style' menu which can be seen here...

http://208.204.52.53:10000/menu.gif

The menu can insert bold, italic, or both... You select text, choose the appropiate style, and the HTML code is inserted into the text... Not rocket-science but it is a start... I'm planning on adding more menus eventually...

The second focus was to set the message text in a DG via xml-rpc. I wrote the following handler which does the job for me.

on setMessageText(struct) {
	local (adr = @system.temp.msgTable);
	adr^ = struct;
	local (adrmsgs = @[mainresponder.discuss.openfile()].discuss.messages);
	local (msgAdr = @adrmsgs^.[string.padwithzeros (adr^.msgnum, 7)]);
	msgAdr^.body = adr^.body;
	return (true)}

Now the applet can save its changes to the DG. There are still some security issues that I'm sure have to be worked out but again it is a start.
