I also forgot to mention that URLs should use slashes (like you
have in the codebase line), and FilePermissions should use
whatever the path separator is on your platform. i.e., on
windows it is backslash. Since backslash is a special character,
you'll need two:

permission java.io.FilePermission "C:\\catv\\newfile", "write";

The two backslashes will be converted to one by the parser.
