They can't go anywhere on the system.  The question you're really
asking is "what does the browser that _runs_ these applets allow the
applets to do"?
It's very much the same argument as the "virus in E-mail" that will
execute when you read the file.  Only if the reader, for some reason,
trys to load and execute what it "reads".
