Recording a transaction that involves an applet

I am trying to capture a transaction using the SEUM recorder that involves the following steps -

1) authentication

2) logging into a portal

3) launching an application by clicking on a link

4) clicking a button on the new window where the application launch message appears

5) launches an applet in a separate window

6) interacting with the applet

7) closing the window that appears in step 4

8) logging out of the portlet.

I do not seem to find a mechanism to record/capture steps 5 and 6 or atleast confirm that the applet launched successfully. Is there a solution to this problem?
