Interesting.  The ActionListener fires if a return is pressed, but
not if a commit occurs because the focus is lost.  So if I use this
approach, I have to have both an ActionListener and a
PropertyChangeListener.

It seems bizarre that there's no easy way to get notification of
commits of a JFormattedTextField.  I think I'll take your other
advice and go back to using a JTable.

I think some of my complaints about using the JTable are solved if
instead of making my Memory class implement the AbstractTableModel, I
use a separate object for that, as you did in your HexForm class.

Thanks,
Eric
