A slip of the tongue betraying the fact that my ultimate goal is to provide

I don't understand the issue here. It's been a while since I used JDK
1.1.x, but
my recollection is that the html files for JDK 1.1.x are also in a directory
structure that mirrors the package structure, i.e., String.html is in
the java/lang subdirectory of the JDK 1.1.x docs directory.

Sorry, meant to write jde-wiz-find-and-import.

No, but note that if you are using project files and you install a new version
of the JDE with new key bindings, you should, for each project, display the
Projects customize buffer and select the "reset to standard settings " for
the jde-key-bindings variable. This will cause the new settings to appear.
