Is a jList equivalent to a jLst?
Are either of them equivalent to a javax.swing.JList?

Upon further reflection, it seems to me that the only correct answer to 
clusardi2k@aol.com's question is "no" and that any /advice/s given under 
the assumption that a jLst is meant to indicate a javax.swing.JList are 
equally terrible. One is free to comment on the apparent absurdity of 
the code provided, but those comments are better addressed to the 
original poster of the code rather than to another respondent whose 
/advice/ is as terrible as one's own.
