I know this must be a beginners question, but i think the documentation is somewhat vague (or i haven't got the right books) Thanks in advance Peter Tilsted Projekt Storkundel�nsomhed, 5094 tlf: +45 3333 4982 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/swing
