If you must know, I couldn't resist misquoting some Frank Zappa initial 
slang: AAFNRAA (Anything Anytime For No Reason At All).

This is equivalent, roughly, to the statement that anything is art if you 
put a frame round it.

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.

FIrst, please follow the Java Coding Conventions, particularly with 
respect to naming conventions. (Your opening-brace placement is 
a commonly-accepted variation.)

Second, use names that are more indicative of purpose rather 
than type, and are somewhat more verbose.

Third, show the types of your variables in code samples, at a 
minimum. What is the type of 'jLst'?

I assume that 'getSelectedValues()' returns a collection of some kind.
For some bizarre reason you want to copy that collection into an 
array simply to obtain the element in the first position. Is that correct?

Why not use 'get(0)' or 'iterator().next()'?

If you truly need an array, Jeff Higgins's advice is good.

What is the base type of the collection returned by 'getSelectedValues()'?

No.[1]

[1] It was pointed out in <_40Nr.24747$cE7.24028@newsfe13.iad> that I 
gave you terrible advice. Please accept my apology.

this is a general tip for that sort of problem.  Just google for
"getSelectedValuesList"

There is so much Java code spidered, you will likely find something
well-commented. Make sure it is the right class and package though.
