Yup.. but if you don't know what you are looking for, there are way too
many API classes and methods to go through trying to find the one thing
that you need.... I think that the API docs should offer another way of
grouping their classes by....  one that is more oriented towards the
application of the class/method rather than/in addition to by package.

Yup... hence the reason I am asking for some guidance

So from what you are saying, if I understand you (and thanks for the
great suggestions)...I would have one class file which would have a
bunch of inner classes that operate with JFrame or JInternalFrame or
TabbedPane panel ... but doesn't that go against the rule about
reusability?  If I have the sub functions in their own class files,
then they can be used and extended by other classes.. (is that what
they call polymorphism?) whereas if all the functions I need to write
code for are in same class file, then they are private to that class.
Not that it really matters in this case, but if I start breaking the
rules this early .....

Anyway... thanks for your help...  I wish there was one place where I
could go online to find out what I need to know about all the aspects
of java that I am interested in.. but it seems I always have to look in
20-30 locations and by then if I haven't found what I'm looking for I
consult a book
I have both of Cay Horstmann's books, Eckel, Java in a Nutshell, Head
First Java and a few others but none of them have decent examples of
what I need to do so I searched this ng and others and struck out...
