Thanks, Knute! I don't know anything about wrapping calls on the EDT,
so that looks like the path I need to research and learn.

Even though I've been on this project for months, I still feel like I
know next to nothing about Java; but it is slowly starting to come
together! And I hate having to work on someone else's code with no
comments, but that's just me... :-)
