I thought there was but looking at my code (which I hope to finish over 
easter) I just use static variables and an array of my <windowSlot> 
class. If there's a null entry use that else .add() it on the ArrayList etc.

I'll check again next w/e 'cos iirc the Applet thread gets a unique 
index for each instance so I'm guessing there's some intrinsic attribute 
somewhere.
