Fair enough. General ignorance of Enums is why I asked and I've learnt 
stuff from as a result.

I haven't (so far) used Enums and it wasn't obvious from the tutorial 
stuff that you can put a public Enum inside a class - rather the opposite 
in fact, since at one point it said that an enum declaration was at a 
similar language level to a class declaration, which is why I thought it 
could not be declared insire a class definition.

Thanks to Eric's example I now see that was an incorrect assumption: I'll 
use Enums that way in future: my main background is Assembler/COBOL/C in 
that order, so of course I instantly saw the equivalence between 

#define SHORT 1   or its assembler equivalent

and

public static final int ONE = 1;
