Hi Alex,
At the moment I do have to use AWT. I quess from your answer that I can't do
what
I want. I did read a piece over at javaworld that that basically says I can do
this if I
want to use a Dialog. I don't like the ideal of issuing another window just to
close
the window. Thanks for yout time.
By the way for those interested in the article.

its tip number 69 for AWT and tip number 72 for JFC
