I must be missing something.  None of the books I have or web sites
I've visited talk about calling one java program from another.  I have
a "main" program which is a GUI.  I have 3 buttons which when pushed,
should call subsequent programs (classes) which have buttons on them
and so on and so forth.  But what is the command that I need to make my
button action listener do to call the "child" program.  I've searched
the API and other resources, and now I have no other choice but to pose
my question here.  I "suspect" that I may need to make inner classes,
but I would really like to have my main program call and invoke 3
others and then when they are done, come back.

Here's a pseudo code program

if add-button.pressed
  terminate the current program
  call the add program
     return to calling program
fi

if change-button.pressed
  terminate the current program
  call the change program
     return to calling program
fi


Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way.  I think I can write the code
for each program, but getting control to pass from one to the other is
a bottle-neck for me.
